Before It's Time To Go

Before It’s Time To Go

I watched you grow with the summer grass
Before you sailed away
Looking back on seasons past
I knew there’d come this day
So, here we stand with arms outstretched
Reaching for the missing phrase
Words just fail the final test
Let’s throw them all away

We sit by the river’s edge
And watch the water flow
One moment stolen from the rest
Before it’s time to go

That long gone place of honeysuckle dreams
Lies so far away
Like a thread it winds between
And brings us here today
You’re a bird who’s taken her own wing
To soar beneath the clouds
Spinning circles in a diamond ring
With the one who holds you now

We sit by the river’s edge
Conversation flows
One moment stolen from the rest
Before it’s time to go

Like the river, we just roll
Never sure where, this will go

We sit by the river’s edge
As the sun sinks low
One moment stolen from the rest
Before it’s time to go
