A Man Who Can't Dream

Verse 1
He had hands that held but never reached
Eyes that saw but could not seek
He spoke in facts, not in fire
And never once dreamed his desires
Pre-Chorus
I tried to paint the sky in his shade
But he only saw the lines I made
No hunger for the unknown tide
Just comfort on the safer side
Chorus
Never fall in love with a man who can’t dream
Who won’t chase the wild or dive in the sea
He’ll cut off your wings, dim your light
Trade your sunrise for a silent night
Love needs vision, love needs flight
Not just a heartbeat, but second sight
Never fall in love with a man who can’t dream
Or you’ll soon forget what dreaming means
Verse 2
He built his life with measured steps
But he never danced, he never wept
He feared the fire, feared the fall
So he never ever truly lived at all
Bridge
Give me a soul that dares to lose
That sees the world in divine truth
A man that speaks in poems, not just plans
And holds the stars with trembling hands
Final Chorus
Never fall in love with a man who can’t dream
Who won’t believe in what can’t be seen
He’ll love your body, but will put out your flame
And leave your spirit cold and lame
Love needs wonder, love needs grace
A man who dreams will give your dreams space
Never fall in love with a man who can’t dream
Or you’ll forget your sacred meaning
