Way down at the bottom Both sides come together And form a V And that's what mama calls The corner of the heart She says a lot of couples Never turn that corner They don't love that deep They care a little while Then they drift apart Well now, baby, If you wonder why I'm telling you all of this It's because something is changing I can feel it when we kiss And if the moon keeps rising You better hold on I am Turning the corner of the heart
Back in the Albuquerque Near the river There was a cottonwood One summer hooked up with A climbing rose And by the time it snowed They were so tangled Nothing on earth could get That handsome couple to let go Well now, baby, This world spins too quick For the eye to see The slow changing Of a stranger into family But if the moon keeps rising But if the moon keeps rising Turning the corner of the heart (Turning the corner of the heart).
