1981 White Oak Songs (ASCAP)Shattered
Like a windowpane
Broken by a stone
Each tiny piece of me lies aloneAnd scattered
Far beyond repair
All my shiny dreams
Just lying thereI'm broken, but I'm laughing
It's the sound of falling glass
I hope that you won't mind if I should cry,
In public, while I wait for this to pass
'Cause sweet darling I'm shattered
Into fragments cold and gray
Sweep the pieces all away
Then no one will ever know how much it mattered
Something deep inside of me
Shattered
