Soon It's Gonna Change
Kurt Nilsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind in her hair
Got money in her pockets
A sweet love affair
She won't change her mind
It's all made up
With a suitcase in her trunk
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
For me...
Been waiting for a long time
But her will was weak
Got put down by everyone
Or so to speak ??
But she's having to find her place
She don't know where it is
Hoping love will turn to her benefit
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
For me...
Well it is good that you have made it through
And in the end your wishes will come true
You're been waiting all your life for something new
And now you're on your way...
You stumble and fall
If you get lost and lonely
If it gets hard to breathe
Know that
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
Oh now
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
Oh now
Soon it's gonna change
Soon it's gonna change
For me.
She's cruising down the avenue
Wind in her hair
Got money in her pocket
A sweet love affair.
