Brent Kirby Somewhere Down The Line
closed all the curtains
put your dishes away
left the door open
but only for today
got your hair done up perfect
got on your favorite blue jeans
took that ring off your finger
just to try and feel clean
once we held a fire so burning bright
it got me through all those lonely days and nights
i can’t read fortunes of everything it could be
maybe somewhere down the line
there’s a place for you and me
you don’t look too much different
your soul still the same
you’re just like i remembered
without all the blame
i’ve been living in chicago
got a view high in the sky
i swear i see you waving
as the el crashes by
found a picture in a page of the time we went to texas
we could have broke a thousand hearts that night
all these doors unopened and we can’t find the key
maybe somewhere down the line
there’s a place for you and me
remember when we walked away
couldn’t find the words to say
i never thought that it would end
this moment’s different this time
it ain’t yours and it ain’t mine we
just can’t pretend, it’ll be the same
we messed this occasion
to bare all our bones
some voice keeps on talking
but it don’t sound like my own
you stay in one place too long and you might just stay
forever
timing has it’s own plan anyway
who would have thought we’d be at this well just
wishing
maybe somewhere down the line
there’s a place for you and me
