matter of time - ned greenough lyrics
long ago and far away
love was a much simpler game to play
we held our cards and we knew them well
but we’d never show them, we’d never tell
but there was one i held the most
trusted so and kept real close
she was my best friend, though we’ve lost touch now
she was the first ever love i found
i remember when we used to talk
for hours on end about nonsense thoughts
she played the keys and so did i
when she performed my eyes went wide
her hair was a perfect golden blonde
with eyes that sparkled and shined right on
when she smiled at me, my heart would fly
i’d catch my feelings just to take the dive
she could tell me anything
and i’d believe every word she’d say
with a laugh or a cry, i’d hang on every line
but it was only a matter of time
when we grew up, well, things got strange
her politics got her all deranged
so i stole her poem and wrote a song
that my friend and i played all summer long
looking back those times were great
full of love and grand mistakes
but it’s not over, there’s more to come
i’m a kid that’s trying too hard too young
she could tell me anything
and i’d believe every word she’d say
with a laugh or a cry, i’d hang on every line
but it was only a matter of time
after all
is said and done
i’m glad it’s left
the way it was
like little songbirds in the sky
you oughta spread your wings and fly
she could tell me anything
and i’d believe every word she’d say
with a laugh or a cry, i’d hang on every line
but it was only a matter of time
