Lyrics

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
