Amanda

Think I'll go talk to Amanda
'Cause lately she's been on my mind
There's something about the way
She looked at me the other day
Made me think that maybe this old world will be fine
Lately I've had Amanda on my mind.
It's not in words she's ever said to me
Or any one thing that she's done
When she walks into a room
She strips it of its gloom
Like she's carrying in little pieces of the sun
Handing them out to those of us on the run.
I used to be so sure of things
When it all came unfurled
I was down when I lost it all
And she waltzed into my world
Made it all a little brighter
My load a little lighter
Now things don't seem half as wrong
I know she's out there singing her song.
Some days are smooth, some days are not
I can't always stay ahead
With those memories in mind
Colouring in my time
I find I'm caught in nastiness and dread
So I just reach back and think of her instead.
I used to be so sure of things
When it all came unfurled
But I was down when I lost it all
And she waltzed into my world
Made it all a little brighter
My load a little lighter
Now things don't seem half as wrong
But I know she's out there singing her song.
I used to be so sure of things
When it all came unfurled
I was down when I lost it all
And she waltzed into my world
Made it all a little brighter
My load a little lighter
Now things they don't seem half as wrong
I know she's out there singing her song.
I think I'll go talk to Amanda.
