Mark Heard - Another Good Lie lyrics

Darling when I was your age
 I could do anything
 There were days of rock 'n roll 
And lunar strolls and friendship rings
 And baby I told myself
 I'd follow my deepest dreams 
Knowing if I did my best 
Success would always follow me It was another good lie 
Coming down like a freezing rain 
From a hot blue sky 
Another good lie 
Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire 
Another good lie
 Coming down on your Daddy's soul
 'Til it made him old
 Another good lie 
Another good lie 
Another good lie Darling they all told me
 That they would do anything
 Climb the highest mountain
 Swim the ocean 
Do the damnedest things 
And baby then they took my heart
 And vanished into memory 
Leaving it to time and circumstance 
To come deliver me It was another good lie 
Coming down like a freezing rain
 From a hot blue sky
 Another good lie 
Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire
 Another good lie 
Coming down on your Daddy's soul 
'Til it made him old
 Another good lie 
Another good lie 
Another good lie Baby I'm just one man 
And my world fell apart long ago
 I guess I'm still in shock 
It shouldn't have been like that 
I guess I still hope for deliverance Darling when I was your age
 I could do anything
 I could be a restless heart 
A social force 
Or just genuine 
And baby don't our dreams die hard 
In the ashes of destiny 
I wish that I could lay to rest
 The bitterness that keeps telling me About another good lie
 Coming down like a freezing rain 
From a hot blue sky
 Another good lie
 Coming in like a crosstown hurricane on fire 
Another good lie 
Coming down on your Daddy's soul
 'Til it made him old
 Another good lie 
Another good lie 
Another good lie
