Lyrics

[00:02.000] The Obvious Child
[00:04.000]
[00:25.920] I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
[00:28.860] Or maybe i'm a dog who's lost its bite
[00:31.000] I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
[00:34.130] I don't expect to sleep through the night
[00:36.230] Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
[00:39.000] But i say why
[00:41.000] Why deny the obvious child?
[00:43.000] Why deny the obvious child?
[00:46.980] And in remembering a road sign
[00:49.660] I am remembering a girl when i was young
[00:55.000] And we said these songs are true
[00:57.000] These days are ours
[00:58.000] These tears are free And hey
[01:02.160] The cross is in the ballpark
[01:04.190] The cross is in the ballpark
[01:07.850] We had a lot of fun
[01:08.580] We had a lot of money
[01:13.500] We had a little son and we thought we'd call him sonny
[01:19.080] Sonny gets married and moves away
[01:21.000] Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
[01:24.000] Sonny gets sunnier
[01:25.000] Day by day by day by day
[01:26.230] 。。。。。
[01:38.130] I've been waking up at sunrise
[01:41.130] I've been following the light across my room
[01:43.190] I watch the night receive the room of my day
[01:48.000] Some people say the sky is just the sky
[01:52.000] But i say
[01:53.000] Why deny the obvious child?
[01:56.010] Why deny the obvious child?
[01:58.780]
[02:10.000] Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself
[02:15.180] How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
[02:19.320] Sonny's yearbook from high school
[02:23.000] Is down from the shelf
[02:25.500] And he idly thumbs through the pages
[02:30.000] Some have died
[02:31.830] Some have fled from themselves
[02:35.030] Or struggled from here to get there
[02:40.000] Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
[02:44.960] Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair
[02:50.000] Well i'm accustomed to a smoother ride
[02:51.270] Maybe i'm a dog that's lost his bite
[02:54.000] I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
[02:57.000] I don't expect to sleep the night
[02:59.000] Some people say a lie is just a lie
[02:59.820] But i say the cross is in the ballpark
[03:05.000] Why deny the obvious child?
