Desmond Drive: Music
Isn't It a Wonder
(Desmond Drive)
Look at that little bird. He bumps his nose against the tree
Look at that little squirrel. He always runs away from me
Look at my grandpa now. He's floating up among the trees
And isn't it a wonder
Grandpa has got no wings, I wonder how he stays up there
Mama has gone to sleep, you know she has the strangest hair
Look at her picnic box, its pieces scattered everywhere
And isn't it a wonder
This world has so much that is strange and new
I'm so amazed by it all now aren't you, arent' you!
Grandpa does somersaults, he's laughing as he dives and soars
And isn't it a wonder
Mama wakes up to see that grandpa still is floating high
Mama goes back to sleep. She doesn't need a lullaby
Look at that little dog. He's barking as he's running by
And isn't it a wonder
Goodbye
(Desmond Drive)
Goodbye, goodbye
We're sad we have to go
Goodbye, goodbye
To lives we've always known
We're off to the unkown, we're off to the sky
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
The land is in your care
Goodbye, goodbye
To good friends, wives, and heirs
There is so much love in all your hopeful eyes
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Raise your glasses, cheers to your good heart
It's your strength we'll prize when we're apart
Goodbye, goodbye
Behold! You're in God's grace
Goodbye, goodbye
We'll e'er revere this place
Though we'll be divided, bonds will never die
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
We'll always remember the people, the places to whom we belong
Tomorrow's memory of you will keep us going strong, so long
Goodbye, goodbye
Change has been embraced
Goodbye, goodbye
Your love can't be replaced
You'll be in our hearts as we go up on high
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Two-Headed Beast
(Desmond Drive)
For so long I bet the farm
On this strange thing I called "I"
Now I'm rapt in wonder
As I watch it wave goodbye
For in this end a life springs forth anew
With the hearts and souls of me and you
I've worn this skin for so long now
That's all I thought I was
But love reflects what I don't see
More than a mirror does
Yeah, the beast that we became demands no proof
Of who I claimed to be in my troubled youth
And do you celebrate a lover's feast?
And do you know the role and the rite of the two-headed beast
I never knew me I never knew you
I lose my head but now I see that I have two
And do you celebrate a lover's feast
And do you know about a sorrow ceased
And will you sing the love song tonight
Of the two-headed beast
Poker Face
(Desmond Drive)
I don't reveal that I follow you
I don't reveal all I do
I don't reveal my desire for you
'Cause I read in a magazine
That love is just a game of cards
And if I tip my hand, I give away
My only chance to win your heart
So I
I only show you my poker face
So you'll see I'm not giving chase
I only show you my poker face
That's how I'll get you
I don't reveal I'm in love with you
I don't reveal that it's true
Oh if you knew that I'd die for you
'Cause I read in a magazine
To keep your girl you hide your pain
So while I hold your hand, I hold the cards
As long as I can lie again
So I
I only show you my poker face
So I can keep you in your place
I only show you my poker face
That's how I keep you
You say you feel as if you're talking to a wall
Baby, that's my game
I play it well
Or not at all
I only show you my poker face
And now you're gone without a trace
I only show you my poker face
That's how I lost you
