Quiet, quiet in the corner of the house
You first knew
Sits a boy that you invented
Who'd dream your dreams
And be with you

A faithful friend, a fine companion
Though long abandoned - still he's true
He's ashamed of his creator
Who tried his best
But it just won't do - for all the things
That wouldn't happen
And all the loves we nearly knew
And all the roads we'll never walk down
And all the dreams
They won't come true
They won't come true

Wouldn't hurt
half as much if we hadn't tried so hard
Laziness has always been my excuse
And I bet you're still gazing at the classroom window
At the Straw Bear on the Drybread Road
And I think that it's time for me to collect you
And all the things we've missed before

For all the things that wouldn't happen
And all the love we nearly knew
And all the roads we'll never walk down
And all the dreams
They won't come true
They won't come true

For all the things that wouldn't happen
And all the love we nearly knew
And all the roads we'll never walk down
And all the dreams
They won't come true
They won't come true
