service station parking lot
in a Massachusetts road,
you were scared I was torn,
'cause one line says that life
is gonna be easy for a while,
two lines and we’re not alone,
she had your eyes, she had my style,
she made you cry, she made me smile,
but only for a moment,
and then she was no more,
Sunday morning sermon
has a message for us both,
the sunlight glides across the church’s walls,
the preacher says that life
is not in the flesh but in our minds,
oh we are never going to be alone,
she had your eyes, she had my style,
she made you laugh, she made me smile,
but only for a moment,
becoming something more,
she’s running ‘round, she’s being wild,
she's got a laugh that carries for miles,
she's going to be a woman
that changes the world,
she’ll have your eyes, she’ll have my style,
she’ll make them cry, she’ll make them smile,
but only for a moment,
becoming something more,
