Mark Wilson – The Truth Is lyrics

If I saw you in the evening
And you looked just like a diamond
And the stars were in your hair
I'd take you to the freeway
And show you the new way
That the cars all move around here

And I wouldn't know your name
I wouldn't dare to ask you
I'd be afraid you'd disappear
You'd take me to the river
Where the sorrows are swimmin'
And you take away all those fears

And the truth is I am scared
And the truth is I am afraid
And the truth is I'm still around
One day, one day I hope I hear the sound

And in the afternoon the trees burn
And the songs by the choirs
And the man in his suit has his pen
Everyone is learnin'
Especially about turnin'
And takin' steps to the side

With lineup side the food bank
And their futures right beside them
Drinkin' the coffee with glee
Flippin' through the papers
Lookin for a story
When the truth is right beside me

And the truth is I am scared
And the truth is I am afraid
And the truth is I am around
One day, one day I hope I hear the sound

And then I woke up in the morning
And your eyes was my sunlight
And your breath was my fresh air
The river changed directions
And the sorrow swam away
And everything left was clear

And as you lay beside me
With your head on my shoulder
I knew everything just had changed
This morning I understand
Reasons can't be planned
And that's all I need to know

But the truth is I'm still scared
And the truth is I'm still around
And the truth is I am afraid
One day, one day I hope I hear the sound
