lyrics

Oh weave your spell on me Marie
By sleight of hand the slate is clean
Back to zero, laughing in the face of darkness
She says all good things to those who wait
I have never been that patient
But I'm easy, though I'm restless
Just a leashed dog in a field of rabbits running free

Oh you can't go back
Make up your mind right now to move ahead
So I laughed – only the truth is funny, only the truth is funny

Kisses from the valley and sun raining down
In drops that twirl and sparkle on the ground
Tickling the Buddha and I'm dancing on the bones of poets and fallen heroes
She cries all good things to those who wait
But there's a fire in her eyes and I can't hesitate
I just take her in my arms at the risk of crowding fate
And we fly – steady on the wings of the night

Oh you can't go back
Make up your mind right now to move ahead
So I laughed – only the truth is funny, only the truth is funny

So I tilt my head, I shift the view, 'til all good things flow out of you
And every movement, every sound, to the next generation handed down
Only the truth....

She cries all good things to those who wait
But there's a fire in her eyes and I can't hesitate
I just take her in my arms at the risk of crowding fate
And we fly – steady on the wings of the night

Oh you can't go back
Make up your mind right now to move ahead
So I laughed – only the truth is funny
Only the truth is funny
Only the truth is funny.
