Текст Dick Jr. & the Volunteers — Cautionary Fairytale

[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’
Without concern, 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 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
Snatched 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 a-buzzin’
Around my fragile brain
I’m just so, so damn 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 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
