Storyteller

I met a man Told me everything I ever did Stopped me in my tracks Bought a drink that money can't buy Breaking all the rules Got me feeling like a fool Talking tales about truth Got my feet done stuck in a lie I met a man they call divine Opened heaven with his mouth And my heart with his big brown eyes Something awoke with the way he spoke About spirits and angels and drinks that never run dry I met me a storyteller Riddles on his lips And I'm drinking that water down Drip by drip 'Cause it's nice Storyeller Whispers at the well About a magic man who dragged me out of hell Into life I feel alive I met a man Told parabolic poetry I climbed a tree just to see if the rumors were true Demons start to flee When he looks at me With a mystery And I wonder could it be you? The whole damn town gathered around The miracle maker making my lost soul found Sonnets in the sand And power in his hands Making dead men walk And the crippled girl stand And I don't understand But I saw me a storyteller Riddles on his lips And I'm drinking that water down Drip by drip 'Cause it's nice Storyteller Whispers in the town About walking on water and seeds in the ground Come to life I feel alive I met a man on a rooftop in the dark Snuck out of bed To meet the God with a human heart Sang of fantasies and wild mysteries About water and flesh A soul with a brand new start And the math don't add up And the numbers aren't right But how do you explain a blind man who got his sight? Healer on the run And breaker of the law He invited me in to adventures of wonder and awe I don't know what I saw But he's a hell of a storyteller Riddles on his lips And I'm drinking that water down Drip by drip 'Cause it's nice Storyteller Whispers in the dark And my skin is tingling with a holy spark And it's nice To feel alive Storyteller Riddles on his lips And I'm drinking that water down Drip by drip 'Cause it's nice Storyteller Whispers in the dark And my skin is tingling with a holy spark And it's nice To feel alive I met a man with holes in his hands Said to tell the world The story of who I am
