[Verse 1]
Glancing up at the sky
that looked ready to open up
I gathered the weeds I’d cut yesterday and piled them to the side.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Suddenly, I saw her
Waving from a passing car.
[Chorus 1]
It felt as though
Time itself had stopped.
Like a scene in slow motion,
It remained etched in my mind.
[Verse 2]
Wondering if I’d just imagined it,
I went back to my work.
My mind was somewhat elsewhere,
I watched the cars go by.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A light truck drove past,
Followed by the hum of a hybrid.
[Chorus 2]
It felt as though
Time itself had stopped.
Like a scene in slow motion,
It remained etched in my mind.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
On my way home, I looked for that car.
It was parked in a garage –
At a house belonging to a stranger.
Maybe she had made a mistake.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Thinking thoughts like that,
I walked the road home.
[Chorus 3]
It felt as though
Time itself had stopped.
Like a scene in slow motion,
It remained etched in my mind.
[Bridge]
Summer is just around the corner;
I look forward to new encounters.
[Final Chorus]
It felt as though
Time itself had stopped.
Like a scene in slow motion,
It remained etched in my mind.
[Outro]
