It's Comin' Down This Way
It's come undone again
I thought I had tied it against the wind
it's comin' down to you
this whole world's turnin' blue
just when I thought it would move no more
the seashore's at my door
and the sky came turnin' black
holds an oncean in it's arms
It's comin' down this way
it's comin' down this way
it's comin' down this way
hold on
Party dress and radio
she's waitin' for the car
it's a big time in her life
she'll be with all her friends tonight
as the lights moved across the wall
of what used to be the gym
I'm kinda nervous but I'll ask
may I have this dance
He drops a letter in the box
he corresponds across the sea
she hardly ever leaves her yard
she waits for all the world to see
till that one day on a whim
she thought she'd like to see him smile
like over twenty years ago
she showed up at his door
(refrain)
The fortune teller slipped
said "stay just as you are"
but the whole thing turned around
when I saw the picture show
maybe that's me up on the screen
you know it's not that far away
and the sky came turnin' back
it dropped a river on this town
Let's lay out in the grass
out in the front yard
with the simple scent of chive
we'll look up at the sky
and the nine thirty from Birmingham
it's comin' down this way
and the ice cream truck after dinner
the bells are ringin'
It's comin' down this way ...hold on
