As a Sign Lyrics by Jim Lauderdale

When Carolina Comes Home Again

0

[Verse 1]
This morning the mountain came crashing through my door
I take that as a sign you don't love me anymore
Yesterday you told me so, but I would not believe
That you really meant to go, though packing up to leave
[Chorus]
The sun shines on borrowed time
No brighter than the moon
I'll take that as a sign
Too much, too late, too soon
[Verse 2]
Thunder out, cloud nine, I take it as a sign
You are now my used-to-be, no longer to be mine
Never mind the ties that bind, lower down the boom
Only comfort I can find sleeps four beds to the room
[Chorus]
The sun shines on borrowed time
No brighter than the moon
I'll take that as a sign
Too much, too late, too soon
[Verse 3]
I'd like to place a nickel bet that every single time
What you see is what you get, short change for a dime
That's how the number crunches when you're that kind of fool
Who bets his heart on hunches as an elementary rule
[Verse 4]
Lost my shirt in many games I never should have played
Some to my undying shame, the memories don't fade
I never could take a hint, you gotta tell me straight
Beat me with the evidence, convince me of my fate
[Verse 5]
This afternoon the hillside came rolling down the lane
No place left for me to hide, hand me down my walking cane
Got one last subway token, I take it as a sign
That someone's heart is broken, I hope it isn't mine
[Chorus]
The sun shines on borrowed time
No brighter than the moon
I'll take that as a sign
Too much, too late, too soon
[Chorus]
The sun shines on borrowed time
No brighter than the moon
I'll take that as a sign
Too much, too late, too soon
Too much, too late, too soon
Too much, too late, too soon
