Cartwheels Lyrics - Singles - Vonda Shepard

Oh mama, we'd sail away 

Doing cartwheels 

On the front lawn everyday 

And you'd sing, "Here comes the sun" 

Then we'd dance together 

I thought it would last forever 

I see my life fly on by 

Like a soldier in the rain 

With a shining road ahead of me 

For once in my life I wanna be happy 

Stop running from my memories 

Being on the road sets me free 

But sometimes I want to come back home 

I want to hear your voice say to me 

Be yourself 

'Cause that's all that matters baby 

Oh mama, you'd carry me away 

On the rooftops and in the high trees 

That's where I used to dream 

I'd close my eyes and hear you sing 

"Blackbird in the dead of night" 

I see your life fly on by 

Mama don't you be afraid 

Look at all the love that you have made 

Oh mama, you want us to forgive you 

But you did nothing wrong 

You followed your road for so long 

That sometimes you want to come back home 

You want it all to be the way it was 

Shaynamaidala doing cartwheels 

On the lawn 

All the planes are out tonight 

I see them flying, lighting up the sky
