Name Time Was Share this song!
Writers: Kipp Hawley
Hear it:
Lyric: Verse 1
I wrote this song for you
But you're not here to receive it
And I don't want to retrieve it.
I gave a heart to you
And stood there watching you rend it.
And I forgot to mend it.

Chorus
Time Was two long gazes locking
Through red passions flocking.
Time Was too short - I never heard through the rocking
The news that's so shocking
Time Was not on my side.

Verse 2
A chorus of streetlights
Your hunger burns I know it
You didn't have to show it.
You offer your hand to me
I'll lead you down the street
A one way sign, I didn't see it.

Chorus
Time Was two long gazes locking
Through red passions flocking.
Time Was too short - I never heard through the rocking
The news that's so shocking
Time Was not on my side.

Bridge
A subtle glancing you go dancing
Off to see what fortune you can find.
Oh but now I'm wiser I recognize your suitors never fit what's in your mind.
And I'm inclined to see what you were over what you are
It's all just a blur like a shooting star it fades.

Chorus
Time Was two long gazes locking
Through red passions flocking.
Time Was too short - I never heard through the rocking
The news that's so shocking
Time Was not on my side.
Time Was not on my side.
