Cowboy Junkies - Idle Tales lyrics

Whether it starts with an earthquake Or the tears of a few grieving women I don't know On the road to gathering Looking for someone to roll away the stone He stands alone in her room As the commotion slowly decays I don't know She's on her way to somewhere new Looking for someone to roll away the stone It's these idle tales that we need to keep us moving These tales keep us going It's these idle tales that we need to tell our children These tales are for our children She stands upon an empty stage with a song she was born to sing She's on the road again It's these idle tales that we need to keep us moving These tales to keep us going It's these idle tales that we need to tell our children These tales are for our children Whether it starts with an earthquake Or the tears of a few grieving women I don't know
