One Short Year Gone By — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

VERSE
Sailin` down my life so fast
And someone seen me zippin` past
And reachin` out they took my hand
And made a move to slow me
Speakin` words, an angel`s voice
And I replied, I got no choice
And you, you`re from some other world
And babe, you just don`t know me

CHORUS
And it`s one short year gone by
Sad, I`ve made her cry, sweet baby

VERSE
I never meant to play that part
I never meant to even start
I was thinkin` `bout some plans I`d made
And there she was beside me
She looked up and then we kissed
And somethin` there said don`t resist
And that was late that summer night
I don`t know why she tried me

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE
Darlin`, your sweet touch
Well, I`ve never shared so much
Little baby, this life`s on fire
It`s burnin` and screaming higher

VERSE
Got to get some time alone
I`m just outside the danger zone
There`s people all around me now
And I don`t know what I`m thinkin`
I went down a ways from here
And kids were dancin`, drinkin` beer
I was so much older there
My spirit started sinkin`

(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE
Tryna keep my life insane
And keep my mind inside the rain
And see the false securities
And understand the highway
Made a lotta stupid moves
I`ve always got some point to prove
I ain`t exactly all that nice
I`ve got to do it my way

(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
