Toad The Wet Sprocket - Stories I Tell Lyrics

Don’t give me answers for I would refuse "yes" is a word for which I have no use And I wasn’t looking for heaven or hell Just someone to listen to stories I tell Now what is a blessing and what is a dream Caught between portraits and none’s what it seems And why is it people expect there’s a change When I feel I’m a part of something I can’t see I feel the same Now don’t ask me questions or I will retreat Fame is a cancer and ego it’s seed Now I wasn’t looking for heaven or hell Just someone to listen to stories I tell Do we ever wonder? And do you ever care... Subtle salvation in poems we know Hiding our heads in a shadow of home Now I wasn’t looking for wreaths or for bells Just someone to listen to stories I tell Stories I tell Toad The Wet Sprocket Lyrics Stories I Tell Lyrics
