Dreams Dissolve in Tears

[Verse 1: Jules Shear, Pal Shazar]
From the very first moment that she met him
He was always saying goodbye
Never with his voice but with his touch and with his eyes
It was easy to stay up late
And make plans that neither meant
Not to deceive or with plans to leave
It was pure without intent

[Chorus: Jules & Pal, Jules]
Salt dissolves in water
Youth dissolves in years
But it's the hardest fade to watch the way
That dreams dissolve in tears

[Verse 2: Pal, Jules]
The dream started with a single in the Village
Which she liked 'cause she could see the trees
But he got in bad trouble that drove them all the way to Albany
She watched in front of them
He watched behind his back
That far from the city lights
Night got pretty black

[Chorus: Jules & Pal]
Salt dissolves in water
Youth dissolves in years
But it's the hardest fade to watch the way
That dreams dissolve in tears

[Bridge: Jules]
From next door a radio played
She started banging on the wall
It was some terrible song she could remember loving
Now she couldn't stand that song at all

[Verse 3: Jules & Pal]
He couldn't turn his back around
With the contacts at his local bar
Destruction got too easy
Thinking got too hard
And of course she was crying again
One night out of two
And he'd say there's always someone crying somewhere
Tonight I guess it's you

[Chorus: Jules & Pal]
Salt dissolves in water
Youth dissolves in years
But it's the hardest fade to watch the way
That dreams dissolve in tears

Salt dissolves in water
Youth dissolves in years
But it's the hardest fade to watch the way
That dreams dissolve in tears
