Everything Is Not What It Appears

from Echoes by Nathan Maingard

/

lyrics

Twilight fell upon the darkening road
I found myself, again, alone
Street lights went out by one by two by three
And I revelled in the shadows that had grown
Oh yes I revelled in the darkness I had known

I'd been there and back again so many times I knew
That the dance I danced was anything but new
Still, I had seen him watching me that old man in the moon
And I thought hey well what else can I do
I'm here to dance I'm gonna dance until it's through

Wrestling in the desert of this broken afternoon
Makes me wish I packed my wrestling costume
Yes the jester is all dressed up as if he was a loon
Have you listened much to what it is he's doing?
Oh, there's such method in the madness of his tune

Traveller been travelling for oh so many years
He's worn right through his effervescent fears
Listening to everything he treads so soft he hears
The world whisper softly in his ears
Saying, "everything is not what it appears."
