Hey all. Lyrics to a song I really like
The riff/music is great. One of those you can play for 20 minutes and not get bored jobs
Just feel the lyrics could be better. Opinions always welcome :)
Time Enough
Her fickle heart was beating
Bounced right off the ceiling
And landed in my bed
How easily we are led
Her mother was a banshee
Screamed of slights we can't see
And swore the world was wrong
A trait that she passed on
Chorus
Beneath your granite skies
It's hard to have soft thoughts
I've put up with a lot
But that time before, was time enough
Step up to the mirror
What is it that you see?
Someone you'd call a friend, or a child
Living beyond their means?
You say that it was nothing
It meant something to me, but you
Spun me around and you let me down
You made a world class fool out of me
Chorus
Beneath your granite skies
It's hard to have soft thoughts
I've forgiven quite a lot
But that time before, was time enough
Bridge
You ask me "why are you laughing?"
Well honey, it sure as shit ain't sad
You scream at me, why should I listen?
I've put up with a lot
But that time before, was time enough
Her fickle heart was beating
Ashudder while you're dreaming
Will you admit you're wrong
When you wake up
And realise I have gone
