Dreams in the Dark

Just me and the quiet nights,

Underneath these darkened lights,

Two dogs by my side, oh they never judge,

But sometimes I feel, I just need a crutch.

In a little town, by a winding stream,

Life feels heavy, like a distant dream,

I watch the sunset from this old, dusty bed,

Thinkin’ bout the things, I left unsaid.

Yeah, I battled shadows, yeah I lost the fight,

Anxiety creeping in, stealing my light,

I put others first, while I fade away,

But deep down inside, I still pray for better days.

Oh, I’m a dreamer in the dark,

Searching for a spark,

On my momma’s land in Virginia far away,

I’ll build a farm, let my heart stay,

With horses and cattle, love all around,

But here in Tennessee, I’m just lost in this town.

Christmas lights twinkle like stars in my mind,

But each December, the warmth, I can’t find,

Ten years gone, since she slipped away,

Every day’s a battle, like fighting this gray.

Family and friends, I keep at bay,

Don’t want them to see how I’m breaking today,

But when the night falls and the world feels cold,

I dream of a life when it was

Just me and the quiet nights,

Underneath these darkened lights,

Two dogs by my side, oh they never judge,

But sometimes I feel, I just need a crutch.

Yeah, I battled shadows, yeah I lost the fight,

Anxiety creeping in, stealing my light,

I put others first, while I fade away,

But deep down inside, I still pray for better days.

Christmas lights twinkle like stars in my mind,

But each December, the warmth, I can’t find,

Ten years gone, since she slipped away,

Every day’s a battle, like fighting this gray.

Family and friends, I keep at bay,

Don’t want them to see how I’m breaking today,

But when the night falls and the world feels cold,

I dream of a life where my heart can unfold.

Oh, I’m a dreamer in the dark,

Searching for a spark,

On my momma’s land in Virginia far away,

I’ll build a farm, let my heart stay,

With horses and cattle, love all around,

But here in Tennessee, I’m just lost in this town.

Two or three kids, playing in the sun,

A soulmate beside me, we’ll say we’ve won,

Creating a family with laughter and grace,

Finding my place in this wide-open space.

Oh, it’s hard to be whole, when you feel half alive,

But I’m holding on tight, to these dreams, I will strive,

With two dogs by my side, and the hope in my heart,

I’ll keep dreaming of my farm, right from the start.
