The Skeptic

Lyrics

Once there was a man
 A good and honest man
 He came home one day to his loving family
 He said you'll never believe
 We have got to leave
 Daddy wants to make a toast
 We're heading out for the west coast
 Driving US 1
 Counting the stars and sun
 Turns to his wife and says
 "How could I of believed em
 I got the call today
 There's no job waiting for me"
 He was fooled by the man and the thought of wind rushing through the palm trees
 Now I see holes in Noah's Arc
 I see dirt in the reservoir
 I see struggle in the architecture
 I see sorrow in the family picture
 But I see you and it's enough
 I'm a skeptic but I see love
 I see love, yeah
 Once there was a woman
 A young and trusting woman
 She believed in the institution
 The marriage of revolution
 She was an old school girl
 From the old school world
 But the man that she chose
 Had other ideas I suppose
 Could have been an easy street
 Could have been a dream complete
 Instead it was a mournful day
 Had to turn her love away
 And give it to her boy and girl
 Pieces of her broken world
 All the things that he took
 She got back from her kids with one look
 Now I see holes in Noah's Arc
 I see dirt in the reservoir
 I see struggle in the architecture
 I see sorrow in the family picture
 I see you and it's enough
 Yeah, I'm a skeptic but I see love
 I see love, yeah
 When it all goes wrong
 When I'm down and out
 When the bad things happen
 And I just can't count
 When the hammer falls
 And the clock strikes two
 When I'm the only one
 I think of you
 I'm a young believer
 With a cranked receiver
 I live without a home
 Me and my busted phone
 I got no guarantees
 I got no proof to see
 This life is a game that I play
 I could win, I could lose, I could fade away
 Now I see holes in Noah's Arc
 I see dirt in the reservoir
 I see struggle in the architecture
 I see sorrow in the family picture
 I see you and it's enough
 Yeah, I'm a skeptic but I see love
 I see love
 Yeah, I see love
 Yeah, I see love
 And it's enough
 It's enough
 It's enough
 Ooooh
 It's enough
