dick jr. & the volunteers – cautionary fairytale lyrics
[verse 1]
there was a man on my door step
he said, son, you best wake up
there’s a great wind a-comin’
once it blows, it won’t let up
[verse 2]
well, i was young and naive
said, i appreciate you comin’ round
but i got a house made of brick here
ain’t no wind gonna bring it down
[verse 3]
he left just as he came
as if he was never here
and i went, i went on livin’
half concerned, without fear
[chorus]
well, i loved her like a fairy tale, i lost her like a dream
pull up on the roadside there and i’ll tell you what i mean
there’s things in life you can’t control and things you can’t foresee
but if you find real love, don’t ever let her leave
[verse 4]
when i awake, oh, her pillow
lays alone on the sheets
the wind was relentless
sn-tched her up like a thief
[verse 5]
i sat up on my bedside
no more loving, no more grief
just as sure as the sun rises
she went up, and took off on me
[bridge]
try to think, there’s a lesson
i got my stetson down over my eyes
that man, he was a visionary
he saw something and he was right
[verse 6]
and now these big thoughts go up buzzing
around my fragile brain
i’m just so, so d-mn lonely
so i sing this here refrain
[chorus]
well, i loved her like a fairy tale, i lost her like a dream
pull up on the roadside there and i’ll tell you what i mean
there’s things in life you can’t control and things you can’t unsee
but if you find real love, don’t ever let her leave
don’t ever let her leave
[outro]
don’t you ever let her leave
