Things are Never What They Seem
(Bob Nolan)
Things are never what they seem.
A blackberry’s red when it is green.
The night owl says "who" when he doesn’t much care
If it’s me or you or the feller out there.
You see that things are never what they seem.
Things are never what they seem.
The bright moon won’t fall without his beam.
My pony says "neigh" but he don’t mean "no",
He’s just sayin’ "hey"
And he don’t mean "hello".
You see that things are never what they seem.
Things are never what they seem
And you’re not asleep, but what is a dream?
A river can run but he hasn’t got legs,
A carpet can lay but, tell me, where are those eggs?
You see that things are never what they seem.
