Craig Finn - When No One's Watching текст песни

There's something in how well you tell the story
The way you overcame the odds all stacked against you
The way that you prevailed in the face of greater danger
The way at first that they misunderstood you
You regaled us with the way that you triumphed over darkness
The kisses and the shadows and the stalkings
But as the pieces come together there's these things that I keep hearing
About the hero that you are when no one's watching

I saw Wendy at the wagon wheel
I didn't know what to tell her
She said she saw you walking by a building
She said maybe you're ashamed that things turned out this way
You said you had to hurry off to something
She'll still let her you use your place, you put on your bitter face
You went on for years, she saw some bad things
But you told me what you told her about how you really loved her
That's a hero that you are when no one's watching
Feasting on the weakness of the women who are thinking
You might be held to half the things you've told them
The record that you left and places that you slept

Moving through the bars and slowly stalking
Someone you can use that finds you charming
It's just the way our hero does his bidding
Living off the lies to lonely women

Now I heard that you ain't running back into Maria's arms
You said it's really just the best thing for the baby
And Maria never found another man to love and comfort
And every time he come back she's there waiting
See her ride into the sunset and then all ends up so happy
Jesus and a coffee and the talking
But just the audience applaud for all the women you done wrong
The hero that you are when no one's watching

Feasting on the weakness of the women who are hoping
You might be held to half the things you've told them
The record that you left at the places that you slept
Moving through the bars and slowly stalking
Someone you can use that finds you charming
The story that our hero keeps well hidden
A weak man hit it off with weaker women
