Lyrics

I remember you that day
and how you looked walking towards me
how the sunlight haloed your hair
and the smile you were wearing
I remember you that night
and the tears you were crying
how your head was hanging low
beneath the streetlight’s glaring

it will be alright you say
and I know sometimes it’s been
but other times it’s stricken me inside
we’ll keep moving on
with our eyes straight ahead
not on the things we’re passing by

it was late on a summer day
a south breeze lay dying
she stood outside of the old farmhouse
he was headed to the city
and he drove with the windows down
and the radio blaring
a cloud of dust from the gravel road
caught the light that was fading

it will be alright you say
and I know sometimes it’s been
but other times it’s stricken me inside
we’ll keep moving on
with our eyes straight ahead
not on the things we’re passing by

I know that I can be blind
I’m a capable fool
everything begins and ends
but once everything seemed to begin with you
when everything was new
that’s when we had a purpose
now we’re torn up underneath
can we still keep it looking good on the surface
