This was the summer of your dad at the UN
And the voice of Brian Wilson
And the rain

Maybe she'll come back to you now
She could turn around on Friday
Maybe she'll realize it then

Shouldn't your friends know better now?
Maybe they say these unkind things
Never dreaming they hurt you
And she may turn around
And see a clearer day

You would like to get away
To arrive in the Delta on a train
With one suitcase

And if you had a grandmother in Jackson
You would stay with her
And rest beneath the dogwood trees

And she may turn around
And see a clearer day
And see a clearer light
You won't, you will not give in to despair and start your car
It's everywhere, but in your heart
