lyrics

The Year Of The Comet
© 1998 Kelly Wallin & Ferryn Martin

The year was young, our hopes were high
We headed for the mountains where the rain poured from the sky
Celebration to frustration, life turned "truth or dare"
Deep down I guess we knew that change was in the air

New jobs, new homes, new dogs, new cats with stupid names
New cars, new boats, new songs, new people playing those same old games
OId and new friends, strange but true friends, seeing who will stay
Life hangs in the balance, walls or bridges will we make

CHORUS:
It had to be the comet; you know the one with that funny name
The year our lives turned upside down; well, that must be the thing to blame
It's gotta be that comet, causing such celestial change
Mark my words from this year on, our lives will never be the same

Who would've thought that funny girl could be "that way"
(Who would've known ... Ellen showed the way)
Yet a million people shared her laughter and her pain
(Shared her laughter ...)
Coming out or going in or staying just the same
Does it really matter with the shape this old world's in

CHORUS

Instrumental (verse)

A thousand souls arrived this year, some left through Heaven's gate
Is it just the way things go or some predestined fate
Safe in our complacency, denying life's great game:
Just when you think it's all worked out, guess what - it's changed

CHORUS
