Parade

Parade

Well a thousand strange places are the corners of my mind

Fragments pieces woven together by the hands of traveling time

Gravity can barely hold me on an X'ed out day

Barely able to speak the words I heard someone else say

But the smaller stones that lie in the road

Get washed away with every storm

CHO

I don't want to run forever

Just for the rest of my life

I don't want to watch from the curb as the parade goes by....

Well I watch the summer sun turn your skin a beautiful bronze

And you've outgrown the dress your wearing but it still looks great on you

And now the years between yours and mine

Now doesn't seem so wide

CHO

Watch the parade go by

From a young boy's eyes

Sit at Main and Broad

On a curb in Brevard

Watch the parade go by

From a young man's eyes

Sit at Main and Broad

On a curb in Brevard

Well I find it hard to concentrate with all these distractions

Privacy please hangs from a door on which too many people are knocking

And does't really have anything to do with what the weather's doing

Cause I fought my way through the wars I've waged

You could say that I've dodged my bullets

But the smaller stones that lie in the road

Get washed away with every storm
