The Riddle by Thunderstone
The Riddle lyrics
i got two strong arms
blessings of babylon
with time to carry on
and try
for sins and false alarms
so to america the brave
wise men say
[chorus]
near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right
but he'll never, never fight over you
i got plans for us
nights in the scullery
and days instead of me
i only know what to discuss
of for anything but light
wise men fighting over you
it's not me you see
pieces of valentine
with just a song of mine
to keep from burning history
seasons of gasoline and gold
wise men fold
[chorus repeat]
i got time to kill
sly looks in corridors
without a plan of yours
a blackbird sings on bluebird hill
thanks to the calling of the wild
wise mens child
[chorus repeat (2x)]
..but he'll never, never fight over you
