Fairview Park

skies were grey and the rain came down
made my way across the dirty old town
home to Fairview Park and you

you let a little room at the top of the stairs
I liked to come and linger there
you always had a fine word for me

and I remember every word you ever said
and i remember all the nights, rain comin' down
and lord willin' and the creek don't rise
I'd be there right by your side

you were doe-eyed in the big wide world
and i was jaded with a heart grown cold
but we found each other in the moments that we stole
we'd lock into Gaffney's 'bout half-ten
drink and talk like long lost friends
stumble home together, sun comin' up

and I remember every word we ever said
and I remember all the nights, rain comin' down
and lord willin' and the creek don't rise
I'd be there right by your side

times were were good, but not meant to be
we were honest fools, we couldn't see
the coming edge, only the clear blue sky
memories a funny thing, can haunt you or feel like coming spring
when I turned the page, I lost my place with you

and I remember the last words that I said
and I remember all the nights, rain comin' down
and lord willin' and the creek don't rise
I'd be there right by your side
