The way your hair shined
The way they watched you as you float by
I think of that time, and how I wondered if you
Could ever be mine
Those days the snow fell
The way you fit inside my raincoat
I think of those days and I wonder if you
Always were my best hope
Now time got a mistress
Time went out and came home drunk
And pages turned much faster
I had to close my eyes - to leave the dark
Now take my last word
As a testament to first love
I'm thinking that's fine, and I'm wondering if this
Could be our courage
Now time got a mistress
Time went out and came home drunk
And pages turned much faster
I had to close my eyes - to leave the dark
Such tarnished earrings
Still brighten the eyes that look for mine
I'll take the slow lane and I never knew
Who moved - the finish line
Now time got a mistress
Time went out and came home drunk
And I finished what I started
I had to close my eyes - to leave the dark
