Pebble Wreck - Malachi Lyrics

Got a call from an old friend
Said she was back in town
Well i hadn't seen her in forever
I told her to come around
She knocked upstairs on the window
Just like when we were kids
And there she sat on the willow
I laughed and let her in

I held her tight for a little while
A tear was in her eye
Eight years gone in a moment
Didn't think we'd reunite
Then suddenly her face fell
And i could see her alarm
Knew then i should've sent the letter
I showed her what was wrong
And quickly told my tale
Of driving on black ice
A stubborn tree and a miracle
A dead man brought to life

Malachi, she said
Sorry i

I said, please don't worry i know i should've said
But i made it back from the dead
I'm the king of the second chance
I know i'm a lucky man
Yes i am

We ate our chips by the river
The sammon were climbing the falls
She told me all about Australia
Winced and said divorced
I tried to keep my cool then
I wasn't expecting that
But all of the feelings i had before
All came rushing back

And she looked beautiful
Our laughter filled the night
And all the stars up above us
Appeared to shoot on sight

Malachi, oh, what a night
Feels good to be back home
All this time
Some things will never change
All this time

I said all these years a secret i kept
I never told you how i felt
But now i'm the king of the second chance
I can't let this moment pass
For all these years a secret i kept
I never told you how i felt
But now i'm the king of the second chance
I know i'm a lucky man
I won't let this moment pass with you

Malachi, Oh, close your eyes
