Lyrics:

written by Jimmy Webb

1981 White Oak Songs (ASCAP)



Shattered

Like a windowpane

Broken by a stone

Each tiny piece of me lies alone



And scattered

Far beyond repair

All my shiny dreams

Just lying there



I'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
