Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly knocked me off-a my feet
And I'm back in the rain and you are on dry land
You made it there somehow, you're a big girl now
Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird, singin' just for you
I hope you can hear, hear me singing through these tears
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time, I'm learning it these days
Oh, I know where I can find you, in somebody's room
It's a price I have to pay, you're a big girl all the way
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last
Well, I may just swear, see what you can do
I can make it through, you can make it too
A change in the weather is always extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?
I'm going out of my mind with a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart ever since we've been apart
