Tonite It Shows

Into a dream I took a turn and promised to return

The way we were, the way we met, the way I lit your cigarette

The way it trailed into a stream and lay down between

You had to choose a side to lose, and divide yourself in two

The way you were long before you were a walkin' civil war

But you forget where the road goes, and tonight it shows

Into your soul I tried to climb, but found the hole to high

For me to leave the way I'd learned, and found I couldn't turn

The way the trees and fallin' rain remind me in a way

The way you were the day we met, the way I lit your cigarette

The way it changed into a strange Cole Porter phrase

But you forget how the song goes, and tonite it shows
