You're A Big Girl Now

(album: Blood On The Tracks - 2023)

Our conversation was short and sweet
Nearly swept me off of my feet
And I'm back in the rain, oh, oh
And you are on dry land
Oh, well you made it there somehow
You're a big girl now

Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence
He's singing his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird, oh, oh
Singin just for you
Oh, I hope that you can hear
Hear me singin through these tears

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
I've known it all the time, I'm learnin it these days
Oh, I know where I can find you, oh, oh
In somebody's room
Mmm, it's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way

Time is a jet plane, moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame that we're all sharing all this past
I can change, I swear, oh, oh
See what you can do
Oh, oh, I can make it through
You can make it too

A change in the weather can be extreme
But it ain't like changing horses in midstream
I'm going out of my mind, oh, oh
With a pain it stops and starts
Oh, oh, like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart
