lyrics

These are tears of Joy,

don't mistake my poise,

I am glad you are alive.

This discovery was too much for me

I had feared for your demise.

There's relief in the false alarm,

and I'm happy your free of harm.

If it's okay with you, I'll continue onto my planned destination.

No, it's allright.

I'm glad that you are safe.

You're the boy who cried wolf,

and I'm the town that fell for you.

Maybe someday, in your lifetime you'll require my services.

In the meantime, I will standby. Your hero in waiting.

Maybe someday, in your lifetime you will notice my advances.

In the meantime, I will standby. Your hero in waiting.

I stand by and yearn,

waiting to return to the place where you keep bay.

So attentively, waiting for the scream

that will indicate severity.

And, the others they all ellude

that your only just being rude.

But, it's got to be soon, when the problem is true

and I'll be there to save you.

No, it's allright.

I'm glad that you are safe.

You're the boy who cried wolf,

and I'm the town that fell for you.

Maybe someday, in your lifetime you'll require my services.

In the meantime, I will standby. Your hero in waiting.

Maybe someday, in your lifetime you will notice my advances.

In the meantime, I will standby. Your hero in waiting.
