Rickie Lee Jones - The Evening of My Best Day (live) lyrics

They all smile They shake your hand They want to know your name Y ou sit in your mothers room Look through the window pane When they know you're not watching They talk behind your back They laugh about the lonliness Of your awkward attack Attack them in the fences Attack them in the schoolyard Wipe your sleeve across your head When the canons fire Someday, many years from here Where no one else can see You'll dig up the things they buried And finally set them free Finally, set them free Now free them from the schoolyard Free them from the lunch tray edge Free them from the canons inside your head I don't know why But for some people An ordinary day Just rises up before them And it sweeps the past away And its a good Life From now on When I look back at you A good life Look ahead The sky is almost blue
