Everybody's leaving
They're going far away
They're taking nothing
That might remind them of today
They're sweeping out the ashes
And singing to the breeze
They only know that they're
Best to believe
Now, from the highway of diamonds
I sent You all my love
I sent You good news
Every time they wished Me luck
And now I'm passing by the brakeman
Who says just wait and see
He only knows that He's best to believe
He only knows that He's best to believe
He only knows that He's best to believe
The peddler and the parson asked for no reprieve
They only know that they're best to believe
All of your disappointments
Are hoping for a rest
They've asked for nothing
Except wishing You the best
Of all that You've imagined
Oh, but You never really see
They only know that You're best to believe
They only know that You're best to believe
They only know that You're best to believe
A sister and a brother might be just a dream
But I only know that I'm best to believe
