There Was A Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was late like the storm
Finding it hard tried to carry on
Without fear or the shame
We could walk in park without being afraid
Was a time I believed
As the story unfolded so free
Now the passion is gone
All wrong
Down to the lake moonlit dawn
There was a time I believed
Time would heal everything
Was a time I believed
You were everything I need
They say that it's starting to show
Should have seen it long ago
There was a time I believed
You were everything I need
As a child
We believed
We could wake from the night and the dawn it seemed
Was so warm
So warm
Into His arms like a child I was born
Was a time I believed
Time would heal everything
Was a time I believed
You were everything I need
Interlude
You took me like the sage
Searching for some absolution
Hard to know the reason nobody cared
Once upon a time
Take me right away
Let me know there's still a season
Let me know there's still a reason to live
I'm running out of time
There was a time I believed
Time would heal everything
Was a time I believed
You were everything I need
They say that it's starting to show
Should have seen it long ago
There was a time I believed
You were everything I need
So now I'm taking a chase of Cavasier
With all of those words that we shouldn't have said
Walking the beach for the last time again
Missing you more than I should
