Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the earth spins 'round again,
Do you know how much that time flies?
Because I find myself losin' those days,
And can't find my way back again.
For those who wander endlessly,
Upon the midnight horizons,
Can you come back down to earth,
So I can ask you a question.
[Chorus]
What once was is now 'a changin' from the way we knew
And darlin' we haven't changed with the blues.
Now I know that our winds will fade,
And shed tears can never be saved,
So I find myself reckonin' and beckonin',
Praying for those skies of cobalt blue.
[Trumpets deep and droning]
[Verse 2]
Darlin' are you coming back to me?
'Cause baby even the Earth bleeds.
Things are different and just picture this:
We forget all those current misdeeds.
When the time comes and we're all alone,
Let's spend our time dancin', ramblin' and forgettin' our lives.
And all those nights we spent together,
Well, we can forget our past transgressors (ha!)
[Chorus]
What once was is now 'a changin' from the way we knew
And darlin' we haven't changed with the blues.
Now I know that our winds will fade,
And shed tears can never be saved,
So I find myself reckonin' and beckonin',
Praying for those skies of cobalt blue.
[Chorus]
And shed tears can never be saved,
So I find myself reckonin' and beckonin',
Praying for those skies of cobalt blue.
[Verse 3]
I cry out to the Lord, 'Is there a way to be saved?'
I know I shouldn't bet on losing dogs,
But the way I feel with her makes me feel oh so crazed.
Things may never ever get better
But darlin' we could live our lives together!
So baby come back to me
And we'll be a sight to behold
[Chorus]
What once was is now 'a changin' from the way we knew
And darlin' we haven't changed with the blues...
Now I know that our winds will fade,
And shed tears can never be saved,
So I find myself reckonin' and beckonin',
Praying for those skies of cobalt blue.
[Bridge]
Bee ba do ba!
Honey don't stop!
Don't you know that others can eavesdrop?
This ain't no Aesop's fable,
Darlin' all that glitters ain't gold.
So now we cross that bridge, be acquit
And then we make fold.
[Bridge]
Bee ba do ba!
Honey don't stop!
Don't you know that others can eavesdrop?
This ain't no Aesop's fable,
Darlin' all that glitters ain't gold.
So now we cross that bridge, be acquit
And then we make fold!!
[Deep and droning trumpet, intense]
[Chorus]
What once was is now 'a changin' from the way we knew
And darlin' we haven't changed with the blues.
Now I know that our winds will fade,
And shed tears can never be saved,
So I find myself reckonin' and beckonin',
Praying for those skies of cobalt blue.
[Chorus]
What once was is now 'a changin' from the way we knew
And darlin' we haven't changed with the blues.
Now I know that our winds will fade,
And shed tears can never be saved,
So I find myself reckonin' and beckonin',
Praying for those skies of cobalt blue.
[Fading trumpets, tuba and brass instruments]
