Mr. Wondering Songtext

von Phoebe Snow

I was running for a while
Chasing promises and dreams
Everything seems easy
When you're hopeful and aspiring

I was just another rebel
Walking on high wire lines
I was looking for trouble
Cheap fun and good times

I was stubborn and I was young
I thought I had all the answers
Class clown, that was me
But the joke wore thin
And when the joke was over
And the laughter had died down
My questions still remain
And I'm wondering

In my dark suburban bedroom
I would lie there in the night
Watching shadows on the wall
From reflections of headlights

All my heroes danced before me
In elusive shades of gray
Close your eyes and go to sleep, child
I can still hear my mother say

But I was stubborn and I was young
I thought I had all the answers
Class clown, that was me
But the joke wore thin
And when the joke was over
And the laughter had died down
My questions still remain
And I'm wondering

Repeat
