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, sittin' on fence
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense
And I'm just like that bird, oh,
Singin' just for you
I hope that you can hear,
Hear me singin' through these tears.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days .
Oh, I know where I can find You, oh,
In somebody's room.
It's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame that 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.
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
With a pain that stops and starts,
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart.
