All In Time

(album: Countrywide Soul - 2019)

She sits like a bird on a wire
She put the stars in my eyes
She takes me higher and higher
She never speaks but she cries

Sometimes I wake up
And it's already night
Look out my window
And I'm frightened by the sight
All the streets are glowing in the pale moonlight

She slips her hand into mine
Leads me along through the park
She knows the questions but it's never the time
Soon I'm alone in the dark

It's time I rise up
And move with the breeze
Get out of my head
I'm so easy to please
I think I'm getting tired of being down on my knees

You know that I'm waiting
You're making excuses
I'm borderline useless from hanging around
And my whole body's swaying
This game we keep playing
Has left me here praying the walls will come down
All in time

She wears an egyptian ring
Sparkles when she moves her hand
She sends me back all the gifts that I bring
Laughs 'cause I don't understand

It's time I rise up
And move with the breeze
Get out of my head
I'm so easy to please
I think I'm getting tired of being down on my knees

You know that I'm waiting
You're making excuses
I'm borderline useless from hanging around
And my whole body's swaying
This game we keep playing
Has left me here praying the walls will come down
All in time
