Not What I Expected

At the end of this trail of tears, at the edge of my horizon From the corner of my eye, I caught myself off guard Like a harlequin's romance, or such tender expectations Getting past my sleeping sentry, with a turn of a friendly card This is not what I expected This is not what I expected This is not what I expected This is not what I expected There must be a hidden source, but you won't know until you get there When the word has been revealed, and you've peeled away a layer Oh it's under every stone, in this desert's painted canvas Like a wellspring of love, or a suddenly answered prayer This is not what I expected This is not what I expected This is not what I expected This is not what I expected And it's Custer's last one night stand It's raining hard to beat the band You hold a rainbow in your hand And I can only wonder, just stare in wild wonder Listening to the silence, counting seconds 'til the thunder This is not what I expected This is not what I expected This is not what I expected This is not what I expected
