Lyrics
Buddy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I get nostalgic every time I think about you
Like the time we took the Bart train to San Francisco just for the view
And the rain came down like fire
And the fire messed the ocean tide
And the moon sang a melody
Well, it shined down on you
I get by in time, well, 'cause we're here for a very short run
And hold the gate 'cause we're comin'
There'll be room for everyone
By the time that train was leavin'
We were stranded at the end of the line
And the moon sang a melody
Well, it shined down on you
Tangled up and troubled
Man, life ain't an easy road
You see, there's always time to get in trouble
And you will always make it back home
Well, the life starts on St. Paco
And I walked up to Albany Hill
And the moon sang a melody
Well, it shined down on you
And the moon sang a melody
That shined down on...you!
You know that it's true!
Shined down on you
It's true!
Shined down on you
Take it, Lars!
