Only Time
...and only time knows when

Is that her hair brushing your memory?
Is that just luck you found a quarter and called her up?
Of course there was no answer and it’s all dumb luck
At least she couldn’t say it again
“Go away, go away”

Is it your habit to remind yourself?
Is it your shadow that you walk into going home?
Light fades past your shoulders and you’re half way home
But your shadow’s getting bigger
“Go away, go away”

Only time can bring you back
Only time can fill those cracks
Only time can rob your emptiness of all its sharpest edges
And time becomes your friend
And only time knows when you’ll be able to forget
She’s been able to forget you
And your able to forget
That she’s gone, gone, gone….

Is that her hair under your pillow?
Is that her memory beside you?
Taking up much more of the bed than you can stand for, and you’re
Beside yourself - but there’s still just too much room
“Go away, go away”

Only time can bring you back
Only time can fill those cracks
Only time can rob your emptiness of all its sharpest edges
And time becomes your friend
And only time knows when you’ll be able to forget
She’s been able to forget you
And your able to forget
That she’s gone, gone, gone….
