The Boy Wonders Lyrics - High Land, Hard Rain - Aztec Camera

I brought you some Francs from my traveling chest 

You'll spare me the thanks 'til you know I'm the best 

So come Hogmonay when love comes in slurs 

Resolutions I'll make and you can label them, 'Hers' 

We threw our hands up high 

We nearly touched the sky 

We clicked our heels and spat and swore 

We'd never let it die 

All those boy wonders 

Sold their medals when they saw this train 

Now this boy wonders 

When he'll feel the fall of honest rain 

I came from high land 

Here the hopefuls have to hesitate 

Now this boy wonders 

Why the words were never worth the wait 

Waiting, waiting 

In pastel paper pink over gray 

We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away 

The poor excuse they peddle as their prose 

Dry your tears, tie your tongue and you're never sixteen 

And I'll give you a glimpse of the hard and the clean 

And my traveling chest will be open to you 

And boy will you learn that you haven't a clue 

I even asked my best friend but he could not explain 

It hit me when I left him 

I felt the rain and called it genius 

Called it genius 

All those boy wonders 

Sold their medals when they saw this train 

Now this boy wonders 

When he'll feel the fall of honest rain 

I came from high land 

Here the hopefuls have to hesitate 

Now this boy wonders 

Why the words were never worth the wait 

High land, hard rain 

High land, hard rain 

High land, hard rain 

High land, hard rain 

High land, hard rain 

High land, hard rain 

High land, hard rain
