Things Ain't What They Was
Said the wind came on so fast and strong we did not have the time to find concern, mmmm Oh, and down below the ground we sat and watched that Virgin Mary candle burn,
When a thousand marching bands had all moved on we opened up the door, mmmm said now everything we've ever know was gone- Things ain't what they was before
She met him on a Friday night- By Sunday afternoon they'd run away, mmmm Well I pieced it all together Wednesday evening- with a postcard from L.A.
Thursday morning came and found me on the ground behind old lover's bar, said the only love I'd ever known was gone- Things ain't what they was before
Oh, Lord I don't mind the change in time setters of the storm, oh no when that new moon shines on you- Things ain't what they was before
With whiskey on my breath I sang a song about a love that I once knew, mmmm and the pain in that refrain took on the meaning when she walked into the room, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
ooohhhh she told me she was sorry- she could not live without me anymore, oh oh said the only love she'd ever known was gone, Things ain't what they was before
Oh, Lord I don't mind the change in time setters of the storm, oh no when that new moon shines on you- Things ain't what they was before
Now eternity had passed without a word- she gently took my hand, said this ain't no rebound love affair- I don't want no one night stand, mmmm
I pushed back from the bar with my guitar now and I headed for the door, oooohhh I ain't nobody's stepping stone no more, Things ain't what they was before
na na na oohh oh oh I don't mind the change in time setters of the storm, oh no when that new moon shines on you-
