Ripples In A Stream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was young and foolish How I fought the urge to run There was a pearl in every oyster And I answered to no one [Verse 2] And when I was young and headstrong No good to man nor beast How I railed against my instincts At the cost of inner peace [Chorus] And when the notion hit me Like an early winter's freeze I was running blind, chasing down a dream Making ripples in a stream Making ripples in a stream [Verse 3] And when I was young and clueless I took that one way donkey ride Without a thought to how it turned out Or even how I might survive [Chorus] And by thе time I found direction I was hanging by a thread By thе time I had the means I was a ripple in a stream Just a ripple in a stream [Bridge] I was going with the flow And I was floating with the sound But I was choking at the bit Trying to make some sense of it [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Oh, when I was young and footloose I gave no thought to matters of the heart I was driven by a lonesome fury All side roads and false starts [Chorus] Now those days are in the distance And I don't lean much on the past And I'm still scratching at that dream Making ripples in a stream Making ripples in a stream Ripples in a stream
