Youre my gilmmer of hope
In a time filled with doubt
Sprinkle soul soothing words
On my imperfect world
Like only an angel could
Cant come clean from the past
Or your dreams pay the cost
In the cold light of day
When your joy slips away
Youre still a part of me
When will I give you up completely
Still wishing from the other side
(chorus)
How can you smile so sweetly
Why do I still believe in filth and dreams
Filth and dreams
In the depths of your mind
Theres a truth you cant hide
Happiness cant be gained
Till youve felt hurt and shame
Until youve suffered enough
Lifes a wound that wont heal
No-one knows what you feel
In the cold light of day
When the joy slips away
Youre still a part of me
Chorus
I said it may sound mean
But where theres dirt there are dreams
And theyll disappear as soon as you wipe away your tears
And wash your sadness clean, hey yeah
This mess were in is where they joy begins
And on the road that lies ahead lies your future happiness
And all the hope in your heart, yeah
Hey you
Talking sideways and looking me in the eye
How can you smile so sweetly
Why do I still believe in filth and dreams
Filth and dreams
Filth and dreams
Filth and dreams
Filth and dreams
Filth and dreams
Filth and dreams
