I've never seen a rainbow without first seein' rain
And for a while that was reason enough to abstain
From loving you, but there are moments when I
Wish I could melt with you, linger like
Plumes of smoke from lover's cigarettes hangin' just outside the door
(Golden light glimmering)
Movin' faintly, softly
Blend the boundary line
With time and sweet caress
It's time, way past time
It's time to say it
If you don't want me to go
I've been wanderin' for some time
Too flippant to truly make my mind
Up on how to move with such a one as you who changes faster
Than the seasons do, uh huh
No fuse, no clues, no leads to follow
You set me a whirl but leave the center of me hollow
I could stay but my time is borrowed to old to
(Pine for avoidable sorrows)
All the time we wasted
Don't regret it or replace it
Still it's foolish to neglect the signs...
It's time, way past time
It's time to say it
If you don't want me to go
It's time, way past time
It's time to say it
If you don't want me to go
Ooo, I swear...
(I swear in time you'll find it's fine to have me on your mind
I swear in time you'll find you'll wish I'd gone and made you mine)
(You've got to understand, step by step, hand over hand
I've gotta chase my horizons, with or without a man)
It's time, way past time
It's time to say it
If you don't want me to go
To go
To go
To go
To go
