Lyrics He Was Columbus - Honeybus

He Was Columbus

He was a lonely boy, he had to wait the long days
He was a lonely boy, he had to wait the long days
Then someone filled his umbrella she said
I want to talk with you, I want to walk a long ways
Discussing a musical history book
He was Columbus, he stood on the bridge looking out
Spending the days in the haze of a meadow of straw
Time was forever, he thought he would never grow old
So he discarded a skin diver’s watch
He was Columbus, he stood on the bridge looking out
Spending the days in the haze of a meadow of straw
Inside was tuneful, he sang with a heart that was young
Expecting her gift-wrapped and tied with a bow
Don’t ask me questions she said with a look that was wrong
Even if someone holds open the door
No more
