A Broken Man in a Hollow Dream

By Craig Whitley
0:00 / -0:00

[Verse 1]
I flew first class to every land
Shook hands with kings, forging deals I planned
But never time
No never time
For the wrinkled hands that built my climb
[Chorus]
Now I’m staring at an empty frame
No one left to call my name
The house is quiet
The echoes scream
I’m a broken man in a hollow dream
[Verse 2]
Old photographs spread on the floor
A boy on shoulders
Smiles galore
But years erased that little face
Replaced it with a suitcase race
[Prechorus]
The clock kept ticking
I lost the fight
I traded love for city lights
[Chorus]
Now I’m staring at an empty frame
No one left to call my name
The house is quiet
The echoes scream
I’m a broken man in a hollow dream
[instrumental]

[Bridge]
The attic whispers
The basement sighs
Dusty letters
Unsaid goodbyes
A childhood toy
A mother’s song
A father’s chair
And shadows long
[Chorus]
Now I’m staring at an empty frame
No one left to call my name
The house is quiet
The echoes scream
I’m a broken man in a hollow dream
