lyrics

Bill Phillips told me it came right in
Like a summer storm and so blew right out again
Bill said it stripped the grass right off the ground
And they talked while the sun went down and the moon lit up the empty road

Bill said he knows the girl who made it good
to mix sweet things and savory things in food
She’s always on the lookout for another good idea
But she only knows the future, and the past plays it cool but somehow always gets there first

The Medicis, in 1621
Commissioned twenty-four paintings by Paul Rubens
They first hung in the Luxembourg and now they’re at the Louvre;
paint strokes and storm clouds are always in motion
always in motion
I’m moving to California
After so many years in Georgia for a job
Always in motion

Bill Phillips told me the lake and sky
made a good team the time that he came by
We walked through Oakland’s Chinatown and then he went away
“ It's a long, slow, dreary kind of rain, but I like the reminder than I'm back in Atlanta”
