about
Track 5 from "Rut": I watched a biography on her and realized that she was pretty much everywhere when I was a kid… and now she isn’t. Maybe someday she will come back… someday.
lyrics
There was a time when you was everywhere
That was back in the day
Now we’re in a time when you are never there
And everything is starting to decay
I won’t pretend what I know you went through
I just want to see you in something new
I know I’m not alone when I say
Come back Kristy McNichol
We need you more than ever ‘cause our pickings are slim
Come back Kristy McNichol
We all want you back please Kristy let us in. Let us in.
You were just like the girl down the street
A natural class act
No formal training under your feet
Something that today they lack
You didn’t need it all, you were a natural star
But as bright as they are…
Most things never last
Come back Kristy McNichol
We need you more than ever ‘cause our pickings are slim
Come back Kristy McNichol
We all want you back please Kristy let us in. Let us in
That was back in the day
Now we’re in a time when you are never there
And everything is starting to decay
I won’t pretend what I know you went through
I just want to see you in something new
I know I’m not alone when I say
Come back Kristy McNichol
We need you more than ever ‘cause our pickings are slim
Come back Kristy McNichol
We all want you back please Kristy let us in. Let us in.
You were just like the girl down the street
A natural class act
No formal training under your feet
Something that today they lack
You didn’t need it all, you were a natural star
But as bright as they are…
Most things never last
Come back Kristy McNichol
We need you more than ever ‘cause our pickings are slim
Come back Kristy McNichol
We all want you back please Kristy let us in. Let us in
