lyrics

The bridge was crumbling where the creek had flooded
That day in September when the rain came rushing down
I can’t remember many storms like that
Back when I was a kid but I’m getting used to it now

Oh the winds are surely changing
Spring’s got something new to say
And these changes are more familiar with every passing day

Now my little daughter, she’s picking flowers
From the stubborn weeds that I can’t seem to kill
Her eyes are glowing in the shining sun
Cause she don’t know the way things used to be

Man the times are surely changing
Things will never be the same.
And I’m getting more acquainted with every passing day with every passing day

It’s not easy, we try to hold on to what we want to believe
Every morning, we get to tell our stories the way we want em to be

I used to wonder when I was younger
When I’d have it all figured out like my parents seemed to then
I’ve been listening mama I think I finally understand
There’s only one thing you can count on in this life

Oh babe we both been changing and we’ve seen our share of pain
Now the river’s running deeper and my worries wash away
With every passing day
