Unwinding - Janis Ian

The hours pass, the night unwinds

You left my heart a beat behind

Time is a friend and a foe

I never dreamed you would go

Love is a clock unwinding

'Round and around

'Til the feelings run down

I toss and I turn

'Til I’m all tired out

I know I told you not to worry

I’ll be fine

It’s just a matter of the heart

And that takes time to unwind

I saw your sister yesterday

We couldn’t find a lot to say

I took an apartment downtown

I’m getting used to it now

Leaving the past behind me

'Round and around

'Til the feelings run down

I toss and I turn

'Til I’m all tired out

I know I told you not to worry

I’ll be fine

It’s just a matter of the heart

And that takes time to unwind

Oh, 'round and around

'Til the feelings run down

I toss and I turn

'Til I’m all tired out

I know I told you not to worry

I’ll be fine

It’s just a matter of the heart

And that takes time to unwind
