Comes It Now

Well, I was 9 years old on the Summer my father died

So we pulled in close to fill the space inside

With laughter and song to keep us warm

But tears can fall from the eye of the storm

And to this day, I hate to say goodbye

When I was 17, I really thought I was in love

'Cause I looked away when we fought like a hawk and a dove

When she'd say yes, I'd say maybe

She wanted my heart, I gave her my baby

Lesson learned, you get your burns if you play

Comes a time, it isn't always fair

When the big hand's here and the little one's there

Comes a time to go

And comes it now

Comes it now

Well it took some time, but I fell in love for real

And with her face, that empty space was filled

After five years gone and five love songs

I don't know how, but it came out wrong

And it seems to me, it's time to be alone

(Chorus)

Comes a time, it isn't always clear

When the big hand's there and the little one's here

Comes a time to go

And comes it now
