Music and lyrics by Mark Geisler © 1989 Thoryan Music
 
Written May 24, 1989.  The title of this song was inspired by Lynn Wedekind's song "Sculptures Of Glass" from her album "Heart On A Limb".  The story is about one of the more ironic elements of gay life - about how we all come to the cities seeking others like us, looking for someone to love.  What we often find are harsh, jaded personalities who gave up on love long ago when their hearts were broken by the jaded ones before them.  And so our hearts get broken..... I suppose this theme is a little more universal to all people in general, but it was written based on my experience.  There were times I felt so close to finding that love I sought, yet it still eluded me...
 
Look for love - do not find it
Dream of someone who will love me
Every night...do I mind it?
Only sometimes - mostly when I sleep
I dream.....that somewhere I am lost
Inside a forest made of stone and steel
Where hearts are made of glass
In here they do not last.....
 
When I wake up...will I understand that
This was an illusion done with mirrors all around?
Nobody there....nobody here
But there was a moment when I thought...
I heard the sound of love and laughter in the wind
Its fingers briefly touched my face
But hearts of glass can break just once
And cannot be replaced.....
 
BRIDGE:
Well, it was a dream...I thought I'd get it
But I was so afraid this heart would break
Sometimes I think I should have let it
Let it, let it, let it in....
And that was my mistake.....
 
So now I look for love - but do not find it
Dream of someone who will love me
Every night...do I mind it?
Only sometimes - mostly when I sleep.....
