Tom Kimmel A Small Song
This is a small song, just a roll of the dice
They say a fool is a good man inspired by lies
Had a lot of big plans, they’ve been cut down to size
I was a schoolboy in a room so small
My teacher was a giant, she was six feet tall
Had just one thing hanging on the wall
It was a picture of justice with the blindfold and all
This is a small song but it's the way I feel
It’s such a small wound but it does not heal
There's a place by the river where they wash away sin
And sing a small song 'bout a man I might have been
I met her at a party, it was Christmas eve
She was just eighteen, I was home on leave
And we danced til midnight but it must have been a dream
Cause I woke up in the jungle with a rifle on my knee
This is a small song but it’s the way I feel
It's such a small wound but it does not heal
There's a place by the river where they wash away sin
And sing a small song ’bout a love that might have been
It’s just a small stream really but I slipped right in
And I gave up something I could not defend for long
This is a small song, it's hard to understand
How so much harm came from such small hands
Still I wish you well, I've done the best I can
To find a dream buried in the Promised Land
This is a small song but it's the way I feel
It's just a small wound but it does not heal
There's a place by the river where they wash away sin
And sing a small song 'bout a man I might have been
This is a small song but it's big enough
To keep a slow dance going when the lights come up
When the waves break and you can breathe again
You hear a small song
A small song
