When Your Dream Lovers Die Lyrics & Chords By Townes Van Zandt

When your sky starts to tumble and your rhymes start to lose
The meaning so tenderly given
When all your dreams lie down and die at your shoes
You can turn to me for livin'
When your sweet words begin to turn black on their vines
And they bear their fruit no longer
And lay down your love songs and leave them behind
I'll show you something stronger
The shadow you're chasin' will fade in the sun
Don't let disbelief deceive you
As you hide from your sorrow remember there's one
That only seeks to please you
But now you must follow your poems as they fly
Leaving trails of empty feelin'
Perhaps when you watch all your dream lovers die
You'll decide that you need a real one
