Dreams Dancing in My Head

With Letterman on TV playing his stupid human tricks

We would sit on the floor and play pick-up sticks

We used to laugh and not care who won or who would lose

Were older now girl and we sit at home and watch the evening news

Where the desert meets the sky is where I like to hide

It’s where I go when I’m lonely and  I want to cry

Girl I know you want to hide your fears

But behind that masquerade I see your tears….I see your tears

My eyes are dry as I’ve got no more tears to cry

So give me one more kiss girl before I say goodbye

Some nights I’m in the dark but you keep me in the light

You give me a reason to keep on going and not give up the fight

It seems I’m living inside these bare walls

And only my true friends are the ones who still call

For years I’ve not shared but carried this heavy load

And the Hollies sang it’s a long dark road….it’s a long dark road

Girl I need to hear you say you’re going to be okay

It’s the only way I’m going to make it through the next day

And at the end of the day it’s only silence in bed

Yet there are so many thoughts and dreams dancing in my head….in my head

I will never forget the times we sat and talked over a glass of wine

These are the memories that will always stay fresh in my mind

Hey Danny, this is the first song of yours I've listened to.  You've got some good lines in there, and lots of images, which is really important.  But I don't find emphasis on a hook, and I was looking for the title to be in the song.  If you were trying to dance around a bunch of unrelated topics (dreams), then you accomplished your mission!  But, I would have preferred it tell a more flowing and cohesive story with a couple of verses, a chorus, and a bridge in ABABCB format.  Just my preference.  And of course, songwriting is very, very subjective.  So what matters to me, doesn't mean it's right or wrong, it's just what matters to me.
