Lying To Your Feet While The Truth Is In Your Hand

from OCEAN WAVES by Stephen Bard

/

lyrics

Lying to your feet while the truth is in your hand
Nobody you meet in a thousand miles can understand
What you’re up against
Now you’re fenced in
Lonelier than anybody else you know
Tell another lie and it’s time to do another show
And what do you do
When the whole thing turns on you?

You want to run away together
Say goodnight and stay forever
Make your bed and pray the weather
Holds out long enough to let you land
How much longer can you take it?
Making it alone and naked
How could you ever hope to fake it?
Lying to your feet while the truth is in your hand

Points on your tongue and opinions up your nose
None of them are yours and you’re wearing someone else’s clothes
And a baby cries with her daddy’s eyes
Lonelier than anyone should ever be
Tell another lie and then look at you, you’re lost at sea
And what do you do
When they all depend on you?

You want to run away together
Say goodnight and stay forever
Make your bed and pray the weather
Holds out long enough to let you land
How much longer can you take it?
Making it alone and naked
How could you ever hope to fake it?
Lying to your feet while the truth is in your hand
While the truth is in your hand

How much longer can you take it?
Making it alone and naked
How could you ever hope to fake it?
Lying to your feet while the truth is in your hand
While the truth is in your hand
