BLUES TRAVELER lyrics : "Thinnest of Air"

How promising the start
Of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed
"Dying is my heart"

Then a hush befalls the crowd as the theatre exclaimed
"Now our hero's part is played"
And they continue as the lights come on and they get up to

go:
"And we are all betrayed
For our champion he screams and cries like us"

Do they deserve to know that

Yes I'm unprepared

And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit
scared
Yeah me

I feel around the darkness of an empty house and there's
nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air


Should the love inside me die
Come save me, I'll be drowning

Just a few feet from the beach
Please give it your best try
Though I may do my best to

Distance you and keep your arms from reach

I'm really asking you to stay

But the only way that I know how
Is by riddle or by game
It seems no one wants to play

And as I float on out to sea
I never really sink, I just drift and say that


Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit
scared

Yeah me
I feel around the darkness of an empty house and there's
nothing there

Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air

If ever I can ease your pain

Well I don't think I'd release you
I'd spin fairy tales instead
Or else you'd never need me again

And though I know that hold's pathetic
It's letting go that I greater dread


Call it a joke to hide a dream
It takes a great deal more than joking
To make any dream come true

So rock & roll and kick & scream
For what it's worth I can't
Resist this flame and fire to finally

Say to you that

Yes I'm unprepared

And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit
scared
Yeah me

I feel around the darkness of an empty house and there's
nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
