The river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone
And in my hands i held it and i knew i was on my own
So I picked it up and i held it to the sky
And in my reflection, i knew i was all alone
Then i saw this girl with the most beautiful hair
She had it wrapped around her for clothes she did not wear
I asked her for a lock and she complied, after leaving
Gorgeous footsteps in the sand as if she didn`t care
She was the prettiest girl i ever saw
The stone lay still without a flaw
The feeling i had defied the law
As i came to, I went to
And i took a look, a look down the road
To see a badger and a one eyed toad
they didn`t say a word, they just looked at me
With that wise old look of the old
Then i went down to town
To my favorite merry-go-round
To the place where the magic horses fly
And you seldom see a frown
but then i stole a ring from the flying horses
and i can`t begin to explain how
I stole a ring from the flying horses
and it`s all rusty now
I stole a ring from the flying horses
and i can`t begin to explain how
I stole a ring from the flying horses
and it`s all rusty now
You see `cause that stone fell through my pocket
And that lock of hair flew away with the wind
If you chance to meet upon either
Well you know where they`ve been
But don`t pick them up or try to find me
They`re much happier on their own
Beauty like that knows no home
And then if you take a look, a look down the road
You`ll see a badger and a one eyed toad
They won`t say a word they`ll just look at you
With that wise old look of the old
