I was riding in an old black Rover You were sleeping at the bus stop Didn't see a thing until the night exploded Just like a picture just like a photograph Mama warned you this could happen Never in her wildest dreams did she leave you cal!ing I was sitting on the back porch freezing You were jawing with the night watch Didn't know a thing until we lost that feeling Just like a picture just like a snapshot She never let you have a losing season Never in her darkest hour did she leave you cal!ing And when it blows we're gonna fall Like dominoes you won't believe it's happening And when it goes they're gonna call You domino just like I pictured Just like I pictured it I was dead to the radio blaring You were playing at the bypass Didn't know a thing until the room was clearing Just like a picture just like a photograph She never kept any secrets from you Never in a mil!ion years did she leave you calling Close as a heartbeat cold as a star High as the heavens you are
