Great Day
 

 Written by L. Buckingham and W. Buckingham

 Long and slender
Altar in the sky
And the warm winds blowing
And the riverbed was flowing
A star-crossed lover
Getting hotter and hotter
Oh, I didn't mean to hover
I just had to love her

Swimming in the water
Goggle at the moon
The currents, they caught her
Hiding in my room
Mirrors in her eyes
She was wet, she was soakin'
Ashes in the ocean
And her heart was broken

It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
Great day, great day
It was a great day, great day

The day was dark and burning
All the time we were learning
The rules concerning
The corner we were turning
A wish that is walking
Is just a crime scene talking
If it's a plea that you're copping
It's just a door that you're locking

Great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
It was a great day, great day
Great day, great day
It was a great day, great day

It wasn't such a great day
It wasn't such a great day
It wasn't such a great day


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

First off, in case anyone's wondering what exactly Will Buckingham wrote here, Lindsey says he came up with the hook 'Great day, great day!' Noone can ever accuse Lindsey of collaborative plagiarism! This seems to be about a very hot sexual relationship that, despite its pleasures, brought pain, too.
