I Thought the Wreck Was Over — текст песни (Flatlanders)

I thought the wreck was over
I thought the fire was out
I thought the storm had passed
and I was safe at last
I thought thw wreck was over
but here she comes again

Livin` with her liked t`killed me
Living without her might as well
At first I thought I`d died and gone to heaven
In fact I had lived and gone to hell

I thought the wreck was over
I thought the fire was out
I thought the storm had passed
and I was safe at last
I thought thw wreck was over
but here she comes again

They`ll tell you to expect the unexpected
But nobody ever tells you where it`s hid
I can`t tell you how many times she left me
I lost count the very first time that she did

I thought I was movin` fast and gettin` stronger
I thought the coast was clearer
`Till I looked into the mirror
And saw a set of skid marks gettin` longer

I thought the wreck was over
I thought the fire was out
I thought the storm had passed
and I was safe at last
I thought thw wreck was over
but here she comes again
