Yeah it gives me butterflies gives me away
Till I’m up on my feet again
Oh I’m feeling
Oh I’m feeling
Outshined Outshined Outshined Outshined
the tears i’ve dropped
to be part of
the way you can’t stop
ever wonder if it’s all for you
the world i love
the trains i hopped
to be part of
the wave can’t stop
come and tell me when it’s time to
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting high as outer space
I never thought you’d slip away I guess I was just a little too late
Those words that you said to me, why wasn’t I listening?
and do this for the last time, and do this for the last time, and do this for the last time
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/after the money’s gone
once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
and you may ask yourself
how do I work this?
and you may ask yourself
where is that large automobile?
and you may tell yourself
this is not my beautiful house!
and you may tell yourself
this is not my beautiful wife!
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/after the money’s gone
once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
water dissolving…and water removing
there is water at the bottom of the ocean
carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/in the silent water
under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/after the money’s gone
once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
and you may ask yourself
what is that beautiful house?
and you may ask yourself
where does that highway go?
and you may ask yourself
am I right?…Am I wrong?
and you may tell yourself
MY GOD!…WHAT HAVE I DONE?
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/in the silent water
under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
letting the days go by/water flowing underground
into the blue again/after the money’s gone
once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
same as it ever was…same as it ever was…
you call me a fool
you say it’s a crazy scheme
this one’s for real
I already bought the dream
… call me Deacon Blues
but something that was not meant to be is done,
and this is the start of what was.
