The More Things Change

(mary chapin carpenter)

Well i think of you sometimes at night

And sometimes it's still the same

The way that it was

When i was the keeper of your flame

We all have our ghosts we all have our doubts

I'm no different with you or without

But one thing's certain

Only the names have changed

And i think of you sometime baby

When an old friend gives a call

And to hear us talk

You'd think i felt nothing at all

'cause nothing remains

That used to be yours

We all have our way of closing the door

But it takes some time to et up when you fall

But i'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of

Way back when you pledged your love

And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain

Now i hear all about your running around

Man you're a legend all over town

The more things change the more they remain the same

Sometimes i wonder if you've ever heard

The sound of a broken heart

It ain't real pretty

It ain't the thing that nice folks talk about

And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do

Is face the one who's done it to you

His eyes like an angel's they're so devout

But i'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of

Way back when you pledged your love

And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain

Now i hear all about your running around

Man you're a legend all over town

The more things change the more they remain the same
