I took a trip down boundary lane
Try an' find myself again
At least the part I left somewhere
Buried under a hedgerow near
A lazy bridge on a hot afternoon
Water glistening while it plays a tune
Cloud burst on a rainy day
Wiping all my sleep away
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you
And in my mind I saw the place
As each memory returned to trace
Dear reminders of who I am
The very roots upon which I stand
And there they were for all to see
My long, lost, used to be's
And all the dreams I had to dream
Were really something, not make believe
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you
A lazy tree by a wishing well
I wish now that I could tell
If all the dreams I used to dream
Are really something or make believe
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you
Try an' find myself again
At least the part I left somewhere
Buried under a hedgerow near
A lazy bridge on a hot afternoon
Water glistening while it plays a tune
Cloud burst on a rainy day
Wiping all my sleep away
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you
And in my mind I saw the place
As each memory returned to trace
Dear reminders of who I am
The very roots upon which I stand
And there they were for all to see
My long, lost, used to be's
And all the dreams I had to dream
Were really something, not make believe
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you
A lazy tree by a wishing well
I wish now that I could tell
If all the dreams I used to dream
Are really something or make believe
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you
