Lyrics

Words and music by Michelle Malone

Pedestrian was made to fly trying to cross the street
I saw it in my rearview mirror while it was happening
Tires screeched – I got scared
Then he flew up in the air
And the tears fell down
Tears fell down

I felt the clouds fill up my eyes and the sky turn grey
Summers gone and I’m unwinding like a tickertape
Slow parade in the street
Lay him down on warm concrete
And the tears fell down
Tears fell down
Tears fell down
Tears fell down
On me
On me

I’m open-handed from a fist when the memory returns
Ignorance is surely bliss
The speed of life can burn
The speed of life can burn
And the tears fell down
Tears fell down

(Lee Michelle Malone Music/ASCAP)
