Trout Fishing In America - Story Time lyrics

(K. Grimwood/E. Idlet) Now, it's Story Time, And the candles are burning down low, 'Cause it's late and there's nowhere to go. And I'm listening As you're taking the shoes off your feet; There's a smile as you hand them to me. Chorus: I don't want to hear it from anyone else, (Once upon a time) I'll listen to you or be here by myself (Far across the sea) Tell me it all and make it feel like it happened to me. It's gonna be a long night, Only the coffee remains. Bets on the long shot. Animals answer their names And I know my name too. Now it's Story Time, And the ferrets are loose in the den; Turn your back and they're stealing again. As a small child, There's a magic that rides on the wind; Blink your eyes, you're eleven again. Chorus: Now it's Story Time, When you believe and the wishes come true, On a lamp or a star? Is it you? There's a long pause, For a moment I can't even breathe, But your eyes are still talking to me. Chorus (2x): It's gonna be a long night, Only the coffee remains. Bets on the long shot. Animals answer their names And I know my name too. Yeah, it's Story Time.
