lyrics

Where the Story Goes

Truth bears no witness
And makes no foes and it
Don’t care where the story goes
It don’t care where the story goes

Dizzy cycles decompose
With clouded eye and hollow nose
It’s all been told where the story goes

Where the story goes
Don’t make no never mind
Beyond a sea of tears
Where the story goes
Nobody ever finds
The way back out of here
Nobody plows Elysian Fields
With broken fingernails
And braves the mighty waters
Using handkerchiefs for sails

Broken heart on Beauty’s sleeve
And battered horn on bended knee
It’s all been told where the story goes

Where the story goes
Don’t make no never mind
Beyond a sea of tears
Where the story goes
Nobody ever finds
The way back out of here
Nobody plows Elysian Fields
With broken fingernails
And braves the mighty waters
Using handkerchiefs for sails

Truth bears no witness
And makes no foes and it
Don’t care where the story goes
It don’t care where the story goes
