Telling - A Mile Of Broken Stone lyrics

I'd never let myself smell the roses<br />

I'd drink a bitter wine<br />

With memories of Moses<br />

In a broken line.<br />

My idols on pedestals -<br />

I threw them all away,<br />

'Cause I could not tell the lies<br />

From the light of day.<br />

Oh, Happiness Road<br />

Is hard way to hoe<br />

A mile of broken stone<br />

miles all alone<br />

miles and miles<br />

Bitterness is a cruel mistress<br />

I was standing in line<br />

And I guess I missed this<br />

Warning sign<br />

No bills posted<br />

No message on the wall<br />

You'll get it at all.<br />

'Cause Happiness road<br />

Is hard way to hoe<br />

A mile of broken stone<br />

miles all alone<br />

miles and miles<br />

We make our own myths<br />

It's only hit or miss<br />

And anything else would be<br />

Better than this<br />

Better than a mile of broken stone<br />

miles all alone<br />

miles and miles<br />

miles and miles<br />

miles and miles...<br />
