David Crosby Lyrics
"Hero"

It was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night.
The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight.
The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free.
I wish it were that simple for me

And the reason that she loved him,
was the reason I loved him too.
And he never wondered what was right or wrong,
he just knew, he just knew.

Shadow and shape mix together at dawn,
but by the time you catch them, simplicity's gone.
So we sort through the pieces, my friends and I,
searching through the darkness to find,
The breaks in the sky.

And the reason that she loved him,
was the reason I loved him too.
And he never wondered what was right or wrong,
he just knew, he just knew.

And we wonder, yes we wonder,
how do you make sense of this,
when the hero kills the maiden with his kiss...with his kiss?

Well, it was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night.
The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight.
The villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free.
I wish it were that simple for me,
I wish it were that simple for me
