Intro

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus 1

Son I am not everything you thought that I would be

 But every story I have told is part of me

Verse 3

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

 Let it flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh

Chorus 2

Son I am not everything you thought that I would be

 But every story I have told is part of me

Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do

 And every story I have told is part of you
