Jitters And The Music Still Played
Driving back from Halifax
I stopped off for a memory
I found waiting in front of me
More than I had assumed
Between me and the sun that day
Making shadows on my face
Was an ageless and changeless place
And the music still played
[Chorus]
And this old familiar song refrain
Rang a bell but was not the same
I'm not gonna make all the same mistakes
Over and over again
I thought I heard that song before
When I swear I was walking out someones door
I think snow will snow and rain will pour
If I hear that song again
"Any one seen Mary Lee?"
I heard myself ask the hotel clerk
He said "Five's when she gets off work"
So I lay under a tree.
My regrets fill up rubbish bins
All over this great big world
But Mary Lee is a dangerous girl
So I was tempted to leave
[Chorus]
I came too close to turn around
She came so close her heart beat on my back
I said "Hey, that's no way to act"
"Let's not ruin things again"
"Hurt from cheating will never fade"
"And these days I'm just not that strong"
She wondered how I knew all along
But I never really knew 'til then
[Chorus]
If I hear that song again
I'm never gonna hear that song again
