William McGovern Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here we are
Trying to locate the rainbow stream
There I go.. over and under again
He thinks he knows where I am without seeing me
And there I stand in the shadow
He casts behind and I am ready holding the net
He will need when the fly starts to rise again
[Chorus]
This is a story about William McGovern
Who lives undercover
Come rise
Come fall
He doesn't know it yet, I feel the pain it gets
We never speak cause he'd run away
And I think that he's a little like me
[Verse 2]
Hey father, sing me a song about rock n' roll
I remember Led Zeppelin II in your living room
And I need to be what you would be if you were free
There I stand in the spotlight in your imagination
Brother, holding the rhythm I'll need
To turn nightmares from haunting him
Here we are
Trying to locate the rainbow stream
There I go.. over and under again
He thinks he knows where I am without seeing me
And there I stand in the shadow
He casts behind and I am ready holding the net
He will need when the fly starts to rise again
[Chorus]
This is a story about William McGovern
Who lives undercover
Come rise
Come fall
He doesn't know it yet, I feel the pain it gets
We never speak cause he'd run away
And I think that he's a little like me
[Verse 2]
Hey father, sing me a song about rock n' roll
I remember Led Zeppelin II in your living room
And I need to be what you would be if you were free
There I stand in the spotlight in your imagination
Brother, holding the rhythm I'll need
To turn nightmares from haunting him
[Chorus]
This is a story about William McGovern
He lives undercover
Come rise
Come fall
He doesn't know it yet, I feel the pain it gets
We never speak, cause he runs away
And I think that he's a little like me
[Outro]
I think he's a little like me
I think he's a little like me
Hey, father
Only the names have been changed
Hey, father
Only the names have been changed
Hey, father...
This is a story about William McGovern
He lives undercover
Come rise
Come fall
He doesn't know it yet, I feel the pain it gets
We never speak, cause he runs away
And I think that he's a little like me
[Outro]
I think he's a little like me
I think he's a little like me
Hey, father
Only the names have been changed
Hey, father
Only the names have been changed
Hey, father...
