Track #3 from Distant Brothers (Ferguson and Henry)

lyrics

More to The Story

I had a neighbor that lived up the lane
Not a friendly sort by any means at all
He was just a cold cold man through and through
I always thought him petty and small

And sometimes when I would see him
I’d call out a greeting as I passed
I never got an answer or even a nod
And I admit I gave up at last

Chorus:
There’s always more to the story
Always more than meets the eye
I learned when he was gone how much I’d gotten wrong
And I wished that I could give it one more try

I never knew he was in the Air Force
I never knew he went to Vietnam
All of his scars were on the inside
Of the man I knew as Grumpy Old Tom

Chorus:
There’s always more to the story
Always more than meets the eye
Old Tom taught me to look past the cover of the book
And I still wish I'd given him one more try
Bridge:
You never know what went before
So just remember there’s always more
