The Boy Wonders Lyrics

I brought you some Francs from my traveling chest
You'll spare me the thanks 'til you know I'm the best
So come Hogmonay when love comes in slurs
Resolutions I'll make and you can label them, 'Hers'We threw our hands up high
We nearly touched the sky
We clicked our heels and spat and swore
We'd never let it dieAll those boy wonders
Sold their medals when they saw this train
Now this boy wonders
When he'll feel the fall of honest rainI came from high land
Here the hopefuls have to hesitate
Now this boy wonders
Why the words were never worth the waitWaiting, waiting
In pastel paper pink over gray
We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away
The poor excuse they peddle as their proseDry your tears, tie your tongue and you're never sixteen
And I'll give you a glimpse of the hard and the clean
And my traveling chest will be open to you

And boy will you learn that you haven't a clueI even asked my best friend but he could not explain
It hit me when I left him
I felt the rain and called it genius
Called it geniusAll those boy wonders
Sold their medals when they saw this train
Now this boy wonders
When he'll feel the fall of honest rainI came from high land
Here the hopefuls have to hesitate
Now this boy wonders
Why the words were never worth the waitHigh land, hard rain
High land, hard rain
High land, hard rain
High land, hard rainHigh land, hard rain
High land, hard rain
High land, hard rain
