Nickel Dreams

歌詞

A little girl dreamer Ribbons and long curls Reflections of yesterdays past Headlines and footlights Wee hours and long nights Keep everything moving so fast It's taken a long time And she's walked a fine line For fortune and fame have arrived She kept on striving And half-way surviving Till part of those dreams came alive Now she wishes she looked like they tell her she looks all the time What she'd give just to feel like she tells them she's feelin' just fine All that money she makes every night ain't as much as it seems Cuz it's a dollar a wrinkle and less than a nickel a dream Well, her heart may be breaking But she keeps on taking what she thought she wanted back then It's too late to change her, There's always a stranger to tell her she's someone again Now she wishes she looked like they tell her she looks all the time What she'd give just to feel like she tells them she's feelin' just fine All that money she makes every night ain't as much as it seems Cuz it's a dollar a wrinkle and less than a nickel a dream
