A Word Unto The Wise

by Paul Fogarty

/

lyrics

The one time that I let you go
You had to freak out hard and heavy oh but how could I know?
The one time I took my eye off of the prize
Our love fell into pieces
this is a word unto the wise
This is a word unto the wise

The one time that I let you be
You dug yourself into trouble so deep
You could not help but blame me
The one time that you gave up on the ghost
You found yourself pinned down between the pillar and the post
Found yourself pinned down between the pillar and the post

This is a word unto the wise
This is a word unto the wise

The one time that we ever saw eye to eye
Our hearts were so sunk in quicksand we could not hang ‘em out to dry
The one time we should have walked away from the lies
Our love fell into pieces this is a word to the wise
this is a word unto the wise

The one time that the truth came about
I couldn’t believe my senses til my defences all ran out
The one time I took my eyes off the prize
Our love broke into pieces this is a word unto the wise
This is a word unto the wise

this is a word unto the wise
this is a word unto the wise

Slowly now our world has been a crumbling
Tumbling into the sea
Slowly now your heart has been a wandering
Hungering to be free
Hungering to be free

One time two times over the line
We got to get our love together babe before we lose our minds
One time three times four time and five
You got to shake out baby break out to make it out alive

This is a word unto the wise
this is a word unto the wise
this is a word unto the wise
this is a word unto the wise
this is a word unto the wise
this is a word unto the wise
