lyrics

I dreamt I had a dream about
A ball o' string unwinding on a road.
Unraveling while I'm asleep
And pickin' up some speed just as it goes.
But sure enough when I awake
I roll it all back up into a ball.
And face the morning sun knowing
That sometimes I may stumble but won't fall.

Changes come like summer rains.
Soak the past and wash away.
And as the night dissolves to day
I wait...waiting for the big ball o' string.

I'm pickin' up the pages of a magazine
I like to call myself.
And reading it while walking on
That tightrope stretched between
Heaven and Hell.
This song I sing, Big Ball O' String
Says something I don't even want to know
Sometimes it's just the friends you make
And then again, that's all you need to grow.

Changes come like summer rains.
Soak the past and wash away.
And as the night dissolves to day
I wait...waiting for that big ball o' string.

I dreamt I had a dream about
A ball o' string unwinding on a road.
Unraveling while I'm asleep
And picking up some speed just as it goes.
But sure enough when I awake
I roll it all back up into a ball
And face the morning sun knowin' that
Sometimes I may stumble but won't fall.

Changes come like summer rains.
Soak the past and wash away.
And as the night dissolves to day
I wait....And I wait...
