Intro Part 2
The guitar becomes softer here, as the harmonica takes over.
Play these softly behind the harmonica.
Verse
The River of Doubt gave birth to a, beautiful stone
And in my hand I held it, and I knew I was on my own,
So I picked it up,
And held it to the sky...
And in my reflection, I knew I was all alone,
Yeah, Yeah...then I saw this girl with the most
beautiful hair, she had it
Wrapped around her, for clothes she did not wear.
I asked her for a lock, and she complied, after leaving
Gorgeous footsteps in the sand, as if she didn't care.
Chorus
Well... She was the prettiest girl I ever saw and
stone lay still without a flaw, and the feelings I
had to fight the law as I came to, and I went to
And I took a look, a look down the road, to see a
badger, and a one eyed toad. They didn't say a word,
They just looked at me with that,
Wise old look of the old... Yeah... Wise old look of the
old... Yeah...
Verse
And then I went down to town
To my favorite, merry-go-Round, to the place
where magic horses fly
And you seldom see a frown
Bridge
But then I stole the ring, from the flying horses,
and I can't begin to explain how. (Move quickly into the next line)
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
And its all rusty now,
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
And I can't begin to explain now
I stole the ring from the flying horses,
And its all rusty now,
It's all rusty...
Verse
Ya see, cause that stone fell right through my pocket
And that locK of hair blew away with the wind
If you chance to see upon either, Well...
You know where they've been.
Chorus
But don't pick them up or try to find me
We're much happier to be on our own
Beauty like that knows, no
And if you take a look, a look down the road
You'll see a badger and a one eyed toad
They won't say a word they'll just look at you with that, wise old look of
the old... Yeah…
Wise old look of the old... Yeah....
Play the bridge and fade away.
