Over My Shoulder

Patty Loveless · When Fallen Angels Fly [1994]

(Roger Murrah - Marcus Hummon)



Over my shoulder my heart expects to see you running after me

Calling out my name

Over my shoulder there's a coat you used to wrap me in to keep me warm

To keep me near

Though the clouds still hang around me like my stormy love for you

The rain is falling softer now, the sun is breaking though.



Over my shoulder I see a rainbow

And is it heaven's way of saying I can let you go

And tomorrow morning I'll be one day older

And you will be a memory

One last look over my shoulder.



Over my shoulder there's some words I said I wish I hold back again

But it's out of my hands over my shoulders

Oh, the shadow of our love keeps reaching out for me

It won't set me free

With every step I ask myself which way should I go

It's hard to find your way across a bridge that's burning slow



Over my shoulder I see a rainbow

And is it heaven's way of saying I can let you go

And tomorrow morning I'll be one day older

And you will be a memory

One last look over my shoulder.

And tomorrow morning I'll be one day older

And you will be a memory

One last look over my shoulder.



Over my shoulder...
