Misty flavored seashore
Drifts on through his head
It never seemed to matter anyway
There are times on the road that have never been told
About mama saying daddy's okay
But not today
Now the road winds long and he's singing his song
But those tears keep on running and he's not very strong
And it hurts now and then to think of how things could've been
Our times were lost to a grave
A ripple in a stream is more than it may seem
Pretty soon that hour will come again
Because you never had a brother with a sister and a mother
And a daddy's who's passed away
Not today
Now Uncle Johnny had a Harley
And he rode into the sewer now the other day
When he went away
And there ain't no rhyme to cover this time to take all the pain away
Not today
He released his hair to the warm cool air
And the wind blew it round and round
His mama say she's gonna cut it off someday
It don't matter second time around
When that train's going down the tracks
'Cause his mama's still born and his friends calm him down
A ripple in a stream
Is more than it may seem
Pretty soon that hour will come again
Because you never had a brother with a sister and a mother
And a daddy's who's passed away
Not today

And those tears keep running and I'm not very strong

Now I know a ripple in stream
Is more than it may seem
Pretty soon that hour will come again
Because you never had a brother with a sister and a mother
And a daddy's who's passed away
