The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Well, I am the boy who cried wolf And I know I've lied in the past But last night I saw his yellow eyes shining in the dark Yeah, I know I spun tales with his voice And I open my mouth too fast But last night I saw his footprints in the path Well, I could swim every sea from south pole to north But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf Well, I am the shepherd's only son And I know what a joke I've become I have an honest heart but I have lies on my tongue I don't know how it started or where it came from And you have no reason and I have no proof But this time I swear, I'm telling the truth I saw that old wolf, from tail to tooth And I know that he's hungry and he's coming down too Well, I could swim every sea from south pole to north And I could climb every tree and scale every course And I could share only the truth from this day forth But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf Oh, oh, I am the boy who cried wolf Oh, oh, I am the boy who cried --- The Boy Who Cried Wolf - Passenger
