The Skeptic
Brendan James

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
