Lyrics

Not What I Expected
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff

At the end of this trail of tears, at the edge of my horizon
From the corner of my eye, I caught myself off guard
Like a harlequin’s romance, with such tender expectations
Getting past my sleeping sentry, and it couldn’t have been so hard

CHORUS:
This is not what I expected
This is not what I expected
This is not what I expected...
This is not what I expected

Oh there must be a hidden source, but you won’t know until you get there
When the word has been revealed, and you’ve peeled away a layer
Oh it’s under every stone, in this desert’s painted canvas
Like a wellspring of love, or a suddenly answered prayer

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
And it’s Custer’s last one night stand
It’s raining hard to beat the band
You hold a rainbow in your hand
And I can only wonder, just stare in wild wonder
Listening in the silence, counting seconds ‘til the thunder

(CHORUS)
