You're A Big Girl Now

(album: Etc. - 2001)

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

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

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last
I can change I swear, oh see what you can do
I can make it through, you can make it too

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, oh in somebody's room
It's a price I had to pay, you're a big girl all the way

A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream?
And I'm going out of my mind, oh with a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart ever since we've been apart
