Lyrics
Love, where did you go?
Ed McDade c. 1995
Early bird gets the worm.
Pretty good until it turns.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Poor folks praying for relief.
Love, where did you go?
I'd thought I had you in control.
Love, you left me here.
To wrestle with my loneliness.
It's raining down in Tennessee.
You are 1000 miles from me.
Sun goes down, moon comes up,
Still no sugar in my cup.
Chorus
The light did shine upon me,
Sitting by a cedar tree.
The moment come, the moment passed.
Fateful winds, fly fish cast.
Chorus
Early bird gets the worm,
Pretty good until it turns.
Chorus
