I could tell you the wildest of tales

My friend the giant and travelling sales

Tell you all the times that I failed

The years all behind me The stories excelled

And I'm drying out Crying out

This isn't how I go

I could tell you of a man not so tall

Who said life's a circus and so we are small

Tell you of a girl that I saw

I froze in the moment and she changed it all

And I'm drying out Crying out

This isn't how I go

Hurry now Lay me down

And let these waters flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh

Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh

Son I am not everything you thought that I would be

But every story I have told is part of me

x2 x2

And you keep the air in my lungs

Floating along as a melody comes

And my heart beats like timpani drums

Keeping the time while a symphony strums

And I'm drying out Crying out

This isn't how I go

Hurry now Lay me down

And let these waters flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh

Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh

Let it flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh

And every story I have told is part of you
