The Riddle (3:52) Lyrics - Singles - Kershaw Nik

i got two strong arms 

blessings of babylon 

with time to carry on 

and try 

for sins and false alarms 

so to america the brave 

wise men save 

near a tree by a river 

there's a hole in the ground 

where an old man of aran 

goes around and around 

and his mind is a beacon 

in the veil of the night 

for a strange kind of fashion 

there's a wrong and a right 

but he'll never, never fight over you 

i got plans for us 

nights in the scullery 

and days instead of me 

i only know what to discuss 

of for anything but light 

wise men fighting over you 

it's not me you see 

pieces of valentine 

with just a song of mine 

to keep from burning history 

seasons of gasoline and gold 

wise men fold 

near a tree by a river 

there's a hole in the ground 

where an old man of aran 

goes around and around 

and his mind is a beacon 

in the veil of the night 

for a strange kind of fashion 

there's a wrong and a right 

but he'll never, never fight over you 

i got time to kill 

sly looks in corridors 

without a plan of yours 

a blackbird sings on bluebird hill 

thanks to the calling of the wild 

wise mens child 

near a tree by a river 

there's a hole in the ground 

where an old man of aran 

goes around and around 

and his mind is a beacon 

in the veil of the night 

for a strange kind of fashion 

there's a wrong and a right 

but he'll never, never fight over you
