Time Moved On

I can see you still
Standing in the hall
Shuffling your feet
Holding your hands
As if you held onto forever
I wondered where you came from
And how you came to be

I was the new boy
I never was a quitter
The owner of steel blue eyes
Oblivious to these new girls lies

So when I look back towards those mountain nights
It was a form of passage rite
I felt we both had seen the light
We held still as time moved on

Singing songs into your ear
The radio is on
I am going to miss this when its gone
And time moved on

This is jealousy in the moon light
The river on a hot night
For a moment there we were
So innocent and young

I remember when I realized
That you had a foolish heart
When you found your place
So far from my embrace
For me that was the  hardest part

You thought you had my dagger
Buried deep in your back
Hoping to escape a second attack
Darling I saw you kiss him
You should have seen your face

You're holding for a hope
All that I wanted was a little touch
A small tenderness,  a truth
Am I asking for much?
I know I'm always talking about fellings
Always at the wrong places
At the wrong time

Singing songs into your ear
The radio is on
I am going to miss this when its gone
And time moved on

We were like shadows in the moon light
The river on a hot night
For a second there we were
So innocent and young
You were always the one

Our dust seems settled
Our vision cleared
But sometimes in my dreams I hear
You voice calling me
Saying your love for me lives on

Well I am standing here
With the loss of you
Being the only thing I fear
My love for you carries on
