Cherry Bowl Drive-In

(альбом: Vanishing America - 2001)

Saw her at the Texico just the other day
Even more beautiful her hair had a touch of grey
We both stood and stared at each other
Couldn't say a word , then I said: "God, it's good to see you"
And she said: "Well, have you heard..."

"They're tearing down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tomorrow
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's going away, all things must go some day
But I will still remember you there
Yes I will still remember you there"

Then I said: "Little Melissa, she's looking more and more like you
I saw her down on Maple Street she's even got your same smile too"
And my Jake junior says: "Daddy, someday I'm gonna marry that girl"
Isn't that just perfect, it's such a crazy world

"So they're tearing down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tomorrow
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's going away, all things must go some day
But I will still remember you there"

"Can you get away tomorrow, if you can't I'll understand
It's just that when the big screen falls I wanna be holding your hand
Holding your hand"

When they're tearing down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tomorrow
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's going away, all things must go some day
But I will still remember you there
Yes, I will. Yes, I will
I will still remember us there
