Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
Come over Saturday. We can spend a little time letting the world turn without trying to push it along. I've been looking at the same troubles from the same chair; maybe your company will move the furniture around inside my head. Call when you're ready. An ordinary evening can change direction surprisingly fast.

SWING THE OTHER WAY Would you come over and play Could it be this Saturday My friends are on their way From a thousand miles away They said it wasn't easy To get the time to come Work and home and family And another rising Sun I came right out and promised them We were gonna have some fun So come on out and play And we'll Swing The Other Way It's way up North of Malibu A Castle in the Sand It can be just me and you Or a kick to beat the band If you do, I promise you That I will hold your hand Until we're Swept Away We'll Swing The Other Way Long shadows in the Evening As the Sun is going down Can you feel the World turning Spinning round and round One way or the other Someone's gonna cry out loud Do you ever feel alone When you are in a crowd? I can hear the ticking Of the clock up on the wall I'm standing in the kitchen And I'm waiting for your call The pendulum is swinging Forever, endlessly I can't believe what's happening I'm living in a Fantasy Ride the waves at Evenflow It doesn't matter where you go There's just one thing that I know Everything is beautiful Yesterday will Fade Away Tomorrow will become today We'll see things in a whole new way When we Swing The Other Way *********
