"Wonder Boy" lyrics
"Wonder Boy"
I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing
The river was free of all ice
Except where the water froze
The dogs went down and drank once or twice
Water still drips from their nose
I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing
The poster was nailed to a tree
But somebody tore it down
Bits of paper nailed to a tree
That's all I found
I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing
My toes getting cold as they dip
Into the snow by my boot
The sky disappearing behind a twig
All the way down to the root
I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing
The forest was planted in rows
At least I think they are
But rows are straight as everyone knows
These rows don't extend too far
I'm a wonder boy
I can do nothing

Karen Dalton - "Reason To Believe" If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I gave you time to change...
Lomelda - "Wonder" When you get it give it all you got you said
When you get it give it all you got you said
Wanna give up wanna call it off you said
Wonder when you'll get it or get off you said
You got a lot
Give it...
