Slow Leaves - Time Was on Your Side Lyrics

TIME WAS ON YOUR SIDE
I don't have much more to say, I'm running out of words
From others to steal
The game of playing poet for the undiscerning ear
Is losing its appeal
Maybe there's much more to write about
A fable that's yet to unfold
Memories are meant to be lied about
True stories never get told
I've been searching everywhere for what I'll never find
Shadows in the night
Someday you might think that I've been careless with my time
And you'd be right
Under the watchful afterglow
Tracing the lines on your face
Writing it down for some afterlife
Where words carry on in your place
Some day you will find time was on your side
Time was on your side after all
I don't have much more to say, I'm running out of words
To call my own
I long to know the silences that only you can hear
When I'm not around
Maybe it's best if we leave behind
What vanishes without a trace
Then no one will know how the rules apply
Or if there are any in place
Some day you will find time was on your side
Time was on your side after all
