Time Is On Our Side
14 Jan. 1999

Time is on our side
Is what her lips say
Trust me, hold me 
again, but wait
he can never know

Time is on our side
we are young
and kept yet free
so don't give up hope
but please step back from me

Time is on our side
she mutters as we hide
 from eyes watching, 
making sure we stay 
moral and true

Time is on our side
then why do I feel this 
overpowering, overwhelming, all
encompassing spaciousness
emptiness crushing dreams of love?

Time is on our side
as hairs gray and wrinkles
pervade my youthful face
So solemn comes the autumn of life
still waiting, ever anticipating that soft voice

Time is on our side
I've heard it once said
darling, dear, oh my love
what have we done?
Our time has silently passed.

Reason for writing:

    you know who you are...but don't be mad, this is just part one...part two will follow
