This Isn't Our Parade Lyrics

This time I'll come first
I saw you standing
And I am by your cage
I think you should wake now
I can hear you calling
I'm reaching you my hand
I can hear you now
I can hear you calling

And I say
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Won't you come down?
Won't you come down?
And I say
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Won't you come down?
Won't you come down?
This isn't our parade

This time I'll rehearse
For a rough landing
I've bridled all my rage
You won't make me back down
I can hear you calling
Know you won't understand
But I'm near you now
I can see you're falling

And I say
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Won't you come down?
Won't you come down?
And I say
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Won't you come down?
Won't you come down?
This isn't our parade

Hey, hey, hey, heya oh love
Hey, hey, hey, heya oh love

And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(Falling on down)
Won't you come down?
Won't you come down?
And I say hey, hey, hey, hey, heya
Won't you come down?
(I watch and hear your call)
Won't you come down?
This isn't our parade
This isn't our parade
