Movin On by Chris Thompson Lyrics

Come on, son, there's someone on the telephone
Tellin' me: 'I'm sorry, you'll have to go alone'
'Cause John can't make it this time'
I said: 'I hope he's better soon'
It never crossed my mind he's movin' on

Way up high above me the summer rolled along
Lyin' down by the riverside I knew that something's wrong
And then it happened almost the way I knew it would
When they told me : 'Who did everything we could ?'

But he's movin' on, movin' on back against the wall
Movin' on, movin' on

There was everybody waiting as they drove him slowly past
I'll never quite get over my feelings that won't last
For somebody who's leaving it happens all the time
They never die, they're only movin' on

Like harbour lights that drift away, a twinkle and it's gone
But we go on and on
It ain't easy in a moment you know that it's over
You're on your own
You're all alone and you're back against the wall
Movin' on, movin' on, movin' on, movin' on
They never die, they're only movin' on
