Lyrics

Not What I Expected
By Dave Nachmanoff
© 1995

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, or such tender expectations
Getting past my sleeping sentry, with a turn of a friendly card

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

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 to the silence, counting seconds ‘til the thunder

(CHORUS)

Dave proudly endorses Access Bags and Cases and has toured with them for many years.
