I Blinked Once
(专辑: Streets Of This Town - 1988)
Childhood often seemed a
pain to me So hard waiting to be grown Childhood climbed up in a
white oak tree I
blinked once and it was gone Airplane flying across the
midnight sky His tiny lights blinked off and on I
watched him move across the
moon on high, well I
blinked once and it was gone Gone, gone, yeah I
blinked once and it was gone A
girl I'd met was all I
cared for, friends I
called her my very own We went down to hear the
band begin I
blinked once and she was gone Gone, gone, yeah I
blinked once and she was gone Hey I
won big money on the
gambling wheel And I
thought I's sitting on a
throne Big John told me 'bout his condo deal I
blinked once and it was gone The
nineteen seventies was ten long years Was ten long years to sing a
song It kicked off madly with a
New Year's cheer I
blinked once and it was gone, that's right It's gone, gone I
blinked once and it was gone Now old man's talking bout a
gun he'd shot And he weren't much more than skin and bone Lying there breathing on this worn out cot I
blinked once and he was gone He was gone, gone, yeah I
blinked once and he was gone, gone I
blinked once and he was gone, gone, gone, yeah I
blinked once and he was gone Hey
