@1975 – the phrase “One lost dream” popped into my head one day, and later I started building a slow blues song around that theme. The song is a bit different in that the key shifts up a semi-tone with each verse.

I love a winner
Cause a winner knows what I mean
When I say “I love a winner”
Cause a winner knows how to win

I love a loser
Cause a loser knows where I’ve been
I love a loser
Cause I’ve been one again and again

I’ve been a dreamer
With a bitter snow waiting at the end
And there’s lots more lost dreamers
Waiting for me round the bend

Break

I’ve been a dreamer
With too many broken things left to mend

The greatest tragedy, oh the greatest tragedy
Is the passing of one lost dream
(repeat)
