While Gayle is the younger sister of Loretta Lynn, her musical sound is very different from Lynn's. Gayle's career began as country music moved towards a more pop-oriented sound in the 1970s, as exemplified by such performers as Lynn Anderson and Barbara Mandrell. Gayle's music reflects the modern Nashville sound.
Is There Any Way Out Of This Dream?
Crystal Gayle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep falling apart every year
Let's take a hammer to it
There's no glamour in it
Is there any way out of this dream
I'm as blue as I can possibly be
Is there someone else out there for me
I feel so incomplete
Is there any way out of this dream
Summer is dragging its feet
I feel so incomplete
Is there any way out of this dream

I think this song means . She's sad and lonely , I've never this song before . I just wished there was more of it , it's hard to interpret it when there's not much to go on . She hopes and dreams she will find someone who will make her life complete . To hold her together when she falls apart , she's tired of being alone . Is There Any Way Out Of This Dream
