Lyrics

Winfield and Main
(© 2004 Pierre Hilaire)

Don?t you remember my name?
Don?t you remember the light changed
Down on the corner of winfield and main
You wore that purple dress
You seemed to think you were all that
Isn?t it crazy how life deals its hand

I felt a chill on the way
Rained yesterday but the sun came
Didn?t I tell that you that it was my birthday?

I remember why you can?t see me
Wouldn?t care what you think if you missed me
I don?t want to cry body?s useless
I can?t go on
When God a bunch of things go wrong

Now I?m floating
On a Sunday
Was the one day
When she waits for me
Didn?t want to go
But you took away
Well the one thing that I claim to be

Don?t you remember the day
Mama she warned you of these things
Down on the corner of winfield and main

I remember time you can?t see me
Wouldn?t care what you think if you missed me
You can dry your eyes to an endless ?I can?t go on?
When God a bunch of things go wrong
