The World Turns Lyrics by Victoria Banks

When You Can Fly

2009

When she woke up she knew what she was gonna do that day
The wedding ring was burning a hole in the drawer she had to throw that thing away
So she took it from the dresser and she tucked it in her purse
What was once her greatest blessing had become her deepest hurt
She drove that honda past the memories of their bittersweet romance
The parking lot where they first kissed, the pool hall where they danced
And way out to that country church high up on that ridge
Where she walked down clutching the ring in her hand and stood crying on the bridge
Chorus:
Out of the river it came, back to the river it goes
Falling with the rain to the water grey and cold
A miner must have panned it
A jeweler shaped the gold
Out of the river it came, back to the river it goes
There was an old man on the bank who stood and watched her from afar
A single silent witness to the baring of her heart
And with the black mascara rain streaming down her face
A fallen angel spreads her broken wings to fly back up to grace
As her past is washed away
Chorus:
Out of the river it came, back to the river it goes
Falling with the rain to the water grey and cold
A miner must have panned it
A jeweler shaped the gold
Out of the river it came, back to the river it goes
When she woke up she knew what she was gonna do that day
The wedding ring was burning a hole in her soul she had to throw that thing away
