The Riddle Lyrics


There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
Come over me, Come over me”
He said, "Son why you got to sing that tune?
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon?
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see, you will see"
Then he said, "Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
You and I"
Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything? ‘Cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me
He said, "Dad I'm big, but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song

So play with me, come play with me"
”And hey Dad, here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
You and I”
I said, "Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world who am I?"
There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He said, “You looking for a clue? I love you free”
The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me
I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
'Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free, I love you freely
Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
You and I

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Patrick Frances McManus was one of 6 children born into an incredibly talented musical family in Derrylin, Co.Fermangh, N.Ireland. Pat’s father, John, and his mother Valerie were highly accomplished Traditional Irish music players, so it wasn’t long before Pat and his two brothers, John and Tommy, were picking up all the instruments lying around the house and learning to play. By the age of 7, Pat had already performed on live T.V. and by 14 he was All-Ireland Fiddle Champion. Aged 20, Pat somehow stumbled across a band called Horslips.
