Time and Time Again

Thirteen years we lived simple and plain

'Til the flash of the rain on a late July day

That waiting room cough turned into much more

In two months' time it'll be stage four

In your heart they were wrong colder winds blow strong

Autumn's fight to hang on you were here then gone

As I knelt by our bed my eyes heavy and red

With what breath you've got left your words whisper and said

Time and time again

Is all you need to comprehend

The loss that you feel in the mid-morning light

When I'm not there by your side

Away you did go before winter's first snow

Left a hole in my soul the kind you can't sew

Never needed much more than you by my side

With those hazel green eyes lookin' deep into mine

Each November that's passed I remember stained glass

A hearse dressed in black and a love that lasts

As I kneel by our bed my eyes heavy and red

With what prayer I've got left my words whisper and said

Time and time again

Is all you need to comprehend

The loss that you feel in the mid-morning light

When I'm not there by your side

When I'm not there by your side

Oh time and time again

Is all you need to comprehend

The loss that you feel in the mid-morning light

When I'm not there by your side

Oh when I'm not there by your side

When I'm not there by your side

Light breaks from the east and helps bring me peace

The thought of you puts me at ease

As we'd lay in our bed our eyes happy instead

With what memory there's left your words ring in my head

Time and time again

Time and time again
