Time On Her Side

The sea was large today Just as any other day But something broke in me Watching on this winter's eve Like a voice That I'd been trying to hide Pulled me close And out into the undertow I can't beat it Oh, the sirens sing me home Just can't release it I didn't have the strength to go She's a garden rose and blossoms head to toe And even when she leaves, her golden shadow stings I can't beat it Every time she goes Cuts me even deeper If only I'd the strength to go Like she does But she's got time on her side And she's free to decide Because she's got time on her side To be young is divine And scaling the dunes to sea where the white wall feeds Gets me no closer to peace from the grips that she holds on me Oh, I can't beat it Every time she goes Cuts a little deeper So the wound will never close If only I could beat it She wouldn't look away for woe But it finds me when I'm sleeping And wakes me in a fevered low Like she does But she's got time on her side And she's free to decide Because she's got time on her side She's so free, it's sublime I just wonder if I'm on her mind As she's on mine, all the time And I want her to know that I'm on her side I'm on her side The sea was large today Just as any other day
