Mary Lou Lord: Old Tin Tray

Once in a while it occurs
You find that you're not where you thought you were
Or even where you hoped you might be in the field
It sounds like a lie but you know that it's real

And then you came and you reached out a hand
And so you stepped in as a part of the plan
The summer came and went and the leaves turned to red
Tell me were we wrong to believe what you said

It can't be helped if we get on your nerves
We just wanna touch what you said we deserve
It's not that we don't know what you've done for your cause
It's just that there's a name on the line and its yours

Hey hey hey, its another dark day
You never know what's on its way
Till its landed in your old tin tray
Hey hey hey, its another dark day
You never know what's on its way
Till its landed in your old tin tray

We can't say we'll suceed on our own
At least if we try and we end up unknown
It won't be 'cos of you that we're still on the shelf
It's easier to take if you do it yourself

And you know once in a while it occurs
You find that you're not where you thought you were
Or even where you hoped you might be in the field
You know what you can do with you're sad little deal

Hey hey hey, its another dark day
You never know what's on its way
Till its landed in your old tin tray

Hey hey hey, its another dark day
You never know what's on its way
Till its landed in your old tin tray

Hey hey hey, its another dark day
You never know what's on its way
Till its landed in your old tin tray

Hey hey hey, its another dark day
You never know what's on its way
Till its landed in your old tin tray
