Lyrics
Put on Abby Road and then I'll listen to some memories
Hold the pictures upright in my head
Brush away the cobwebs on the curtains by my vanity
Stare outside the window while it rains
oh while it rains
Never ask questions kept my mouth shut and listened good
Speak when your spoken to I learned it well and understood
Every time I turned around there was something in my way
But I learned some clever moves
Got through from day to day
Now I stare into the mirrored lines upon my face
This ragged road i've walked has led me here, with no discrace
There's been so many things try to hold me down
I always find a way to pick myself up off the ground
Put on Abby road and then I'll listen to some memories
Hold the pictures upright in my head
Brush away the cobwebs on the curtains by my vanity
Stare outside the window while it rains
Oh while it rains
Now I ain't never been one to move ahead to fast
But then again there's times I was afraid I'd finish last
And there aint nothin holy nothin sacred
that you may find
In words that people say they're only words they're not devine
So when you hear that those who hesitate are lost
You've got to calculate the risk, estimate the cost
Its only minutes but they add to every day
Before you know it far too many have just ticked away
Put on Abby Road and then I'll listen to some memories
Hold the pictures upright in my head
Brush away the cobwebs on the curtains by my vanity
Stare outside the window while it rains
Oh while it rains
