The lyric is my entry in the June lyrics contest and the music came rather quickly - so the melody's probably stolen. Ah well, as my buddy says - good artists borrow - great ones steal!
Just learning harmonica so bare(bear?) with me on that front.
Any comments welcome and thanks for listening, if, in fact, you do.
https://soundcloud.com/paulcanuck/the-truth-comes-stumbling-inThe Truth Comes Stumbling InThe trial was well underway
Each side had been pleading its case
But the Lie had convinced them
And no-one would listen
When the Truth came stumbling in
The Lie had arrived by Ferrari
The Truth - charact'ristic'ly tardy
So the Lie had the show
Wrapped up with a bow
When the Truth wandered into the party
Now, the Lie was as sharp as a dagger
And he spoke with a confident swagger
With his mirrors and smoke
The jury was stoked
To believe him ahead of that laggard
The Truth, to the murmurs of laughter
Had the facts stacked up to the rafters
Then she took her sweet time
Crossing T's, dotting I's
But the crowd wanted out of there faster
Yeah, the crowd wanted out of there faster
When you sit in your chair in the evenin'
And you're glued to the news of the nation
Well, your judgement should wait
'Cause the Truth will be late
Awww, you're just going to have to be patient!
Yeah, she's bound to be late
So you'll just have to wait
For the the Truth to come
Stumbling..
Bumbling..
Grumbling..
Until the Truth comes stumbling in!
