You Came Along

lyrics

You Came Along

You came along, a traveling salesman
You knocked on my door until I let you in
There was no telling I don’t want what you’re selling
But you insisted I’m happy again

I said I’m too busy I’m too important
I don’t have time to be playing these games
You said you don’t look that busy you said daylight is burning
& wasting it is such a shame

you came along & you had the remedy
something to help me get over my blues
in sunshine & snakeoil, blue fades to yellow
I’m lucky that you came along

You spread out your trinkets, baubles & toys
Shiney & sparkling, the pockets of little boys
& I never knew these were things that I needed
I’m lucky that you came along

You came along & all of my planning
Flew out the window & migrated south
& just like the wind, you know when I can’t see you
I still feel you hanging around

& maybe tomorrow, maybe next week
red rover, come over, we’ll play hide & seek
& I’m making promises I’ve got to keep
ever since you came along
only cuz you came along
just because you came along
