Hero Lyrics - David Crosby

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 

[Chorus:] 

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 shade 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 

[Chorus] 

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 

Photos 

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 

Were that simple for me
