Time - Gretta Ray

Time is able to discern when long-term love has had its turn

Only then, we’ll drop the curtain, let the credits start to roll

Her aura so imposing, hand me in your bed and clothing

Luke-warm caffeine in the morning

Can your brother take me home?

When we were pulling strings to keep her alone

Those were the days I didn’t let it down

Though love will run deep like hurt runs out

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard and for the longest

Held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard and for the longest

Raised us, shaped us, moulded and made us

Into who we are today and who we plan to stay

Time held us in December, made your name one to remember

Now though only here to cool the embers

She never will cease to console us

So as you look back to where we began

Loosening your grip a little on her hand

Keeping in mind, we owe her more

Than we could ever make apparent

(Time) Barely on our hands, still loved us hard

Time barely on our hands

Still loved us hard, her care was constant

Held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Time held us in her arms

She loved us hard and for the longest

And was nobody’s but ours

Make part of me live on in you

Let your heart bleed and be an open mood

We know time will tend to

And as part of you lives on in me

I’m holding, broken to the same degree

Knowing time will mend me

Raised us, shaped us, moulded and made us

Into who we are today and who we plan to stay

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Know as she turns to depart

She loved us hard and for the longest

Held us in her arms, she loved us hard

So know as she turns to depart

She loved us hard and for the longest

And was nobody’s but ours
