Fables and our lies Humble little tries Broken drawn out cries Out here it is getting hot, dear Did I ever love you? Think about it. Thirsty, wild, weak and willing I prepared to love you Didn't happen. Oooo Oooo I ran to the lonesome desert To escape the coldness I created. But the heat waves visions in the dust, babe Memories of heartache has me silent. Fables and our lies Humble little tries Broken drawn out cries Why don't I plan me a visit Come see how your doin' Would you mind that? That'll give me just enough time To sink back in your mind as I'm leavin' Oooo Oooo Though I rose up in your eastern sky It's to the west, I'll be settin' Don't get down, it's just how I am wound I don't belong where I'm needed Fables and our lies Our humble little tries Broken drawn out cries What you said, what you said you'd be (You said darlin') When you said you weren't good for me What you said, what you said you'd be (What did you mean?) When you said it, you set me free Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Fables and our lies Humble little tries Broken drawn out cries
