Times I've Been Wrong

Lullabies sank softly in the river as it surfaced me the bad news
But I'm always dreaming, as the creek flows away
Butterfly stalls high as the postman runs up through the old rude
But I believe in magic because it makes me feel good
How long will I beat on this dead horse
While he's strung-out on he's knees
The fall came too early as the stars went to sleep
Red faced lion tells now the mother to call his son back from lone
He is out crossing rivers and he won't be coming home
One of these days I'll surrender, surrender myself to the dark
While you all sleep I'll just walk off
To forget all the times I've been wrong
How can you sleep when the stars right above us
Are crying loud to their sun
They shiver out from sunlight to become you and I
Modern society kills all the lovers telling them who to become
But I still believe in magic through the times I've been wrong
One of these days I'll surrender, surrender myself to the dark
While you all sleep I'll just walk off
To forget all the times I've been wrong
And one day they'll come just to change you
And tell you who to become
So tell them that I will be waiting
On that old porch out on the sun
