And The World Turned - The Gabe Dixon Band

Girl stood on the rocks with the water at her feet

The sun on her skin and a tear on her cheek

With her hand on her chest and the wind in her hair

Underneath her breath like a beggar’s prayer she said

I miss you, come back to me

I wish you’d come back to me

But nobody heard

And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned

And thats when the girl reached in her pocket

Pulled out a silver heart-shaped locket

Opened it up and stared for a while at her faded boy

With a lazy smile, oh how

I miss you, come back to me

I wish you’d come back to me

But nobody heard

And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned

And she walked to the deepest part of the river

And she thought about diving in

She imagined how the current would overtake her

How easy it would be to disappear

But instead she tossed the locket

In the cool, blue, water

That night in her bed, she let herself weep

She let herself cry herself to sleep

And there in a dream somewhere in the night

Saw the boy and the locket by the riverside, saying

I miss you, come back to me

I wish you’d come back to me

But nobody heard

And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
