Time

Time is able to discern
When long term love has had its turn
And only then will drop the curtain
Let the credits start to roll
Her aura so imposing
Had me in your bed and clothing
Lukewarm caffeine in the morning
"Can your brother take me home?"

When we were pulling strings to keep her around
Those were the days I didn't let you down
Though love will run deep, like her, it runs out

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard
Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard and for the longest
Held us in her arms, she loved us hard
Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard and for the longest

Raised us, shaped us, moulded and made us
Into who we are today and who we plan to stay

Time met us in December
Made your name one to remember
Now though only here to cool the embers
She never will cease to console us
So as you look back to where we began
Loosening your grip a little on her hand
Keep it in mind we owe her more than we could ever make apparent

Rarely on our hands, still loved us hard
Time, barely on our hands, still loved us hard
Her care was constant
Held us in her arms, she loved us hard
Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard and for the longest
And was nobody's but ours

May part of me live on in you
Let your heart bleed and be an open wound
We know time will tend to
And as part of you lives on in me
I'm whole and broken to the same degree
Knowing time will mend me

Raised us, shaped us, moulded and made us
Into who we are today and who we plan to stay

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard
Know as she turns to depart, she loved us hard and for the longest
Held us in her arms, she loved us hard
So know as she turns to depart, she loved us hard and for the longest
And was nobody's but ours
