Story Time - Lyrics by Trout Fishing In America


Lyrics
(K. Grimwood/E. Idlet)
Now, it's Story Time,
And the candles are burning down low,'
Cause it's late and there's nowhere to go.
And I'm listening
As you're taking the shoes off your feet;
There's a smile as you hand them to me.
Chorus: I don't want to hear it from anyone else, (
Once upon a time) I'll listen to you or be here by myself (
Far across the sea) Tell me it all and make it feel like it happened to me.
It's gonna be a long night,
Only the coffee remains.
Bets on the long shot.
Animals answer their names
And I know my name too.
Now it's Story Time,
And the ferrets are loose in the den;
Turn your back and they're stealing again.
As a small child,
There's a magic that rides on the wind;
Blink your eyes, you're eleven again.
Chorus:
Now it's Story Time,
When you believe and the wishes come true,
On a lamp or a star? Is it you?
There's a long pause,
For a moment I can't even breathe,
But your eyes are still talking to me.
Chorus (2x):
It's gonna be a long night,
Only the coffee remains.
Bets on the long shot.
Animals answer their names
And I know my name too.
Yeah, it's Story Time.
