The World Turns on a Dime

at a small caf
in a big city
sits a man
with his life in his hands
watch the nod of his head
his eyes heavy lidded

cause
the world turns
the world it turns
the world turns on a dime

there's a girl
with a smile
on a boat
with her brother
sailing for a visit of a year
she says goodbye to her home
and all things familiar

cause
the world turns
the world it turns
the world turns on a dime

take the train
back and forth
over the border
with suitcases piled overhead
will the officer scowl
and stop before passing
will he stop before passing

the world turns
the world it turns
the world turns on a dime
the world turns on a dime
