time was

time was
i thought that i had a heart
if my heart was bare
at least it was there

time was
i knew at least there was you
at least there was you
and that much was true

is it in the fury
is it in the hope
is it in the spaces
between the quarter notes

i can't hang my heart on love anymore
love lost love found
love lewd and love lethal
can't hang my heart on love anymore
time won't wait for me
and i don't wait for people

time was i thought the war was past
the war was past and the past was history
here is a fruit for crows to pluck
for wind to suck until love is a mystery
