THE RIDDLE

(Nik Kershaw)

I got two strong ____


Blessings of Babylon
Time to _____ on and try for sins and false alarms
So, to America, the brave Near a tree by a ______, there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the ______
Wise ____ save For a strange kind of ______, there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

Near a tree by a ______, there's a hole in the ground


Where an old man of Aran goes around and around I got time to kill
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the ______ Sly looks in corridors without a plan of yours
For a strange kind of ______, there's a wrong and a right A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
But he'll never, never fight over you Thanks to the ______ of the wild

I got ____ for us Wise men's child


Nights in the scullery and days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Oh, for ______, but light Near a tree by a ______, there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the ______
Wise ______ fighting over you For a strange kind of ______, there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight.

It's not me you see


Pieces of valentine and just a song of mine Near a tree by a ______, there's a hole in the ground
To keep from burning _______ Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
Seasons of gasoline and gold And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the ______
For a strange kind of ______, there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight.
Wise men fold

No, he'll never, never fight over you
