Things Take Time

Momma once told me with a tear in her eye,
"Child sit down, have a listen, some stories divde,
As you walk down your road, the turns that you take,
are cast down upon you, not choices you make."

Things take time don't you know?
It takes time to know where to go.
No reason to worry, everything is alright,
Sitting with my baby on an October night.

All the things that you love fade like a song,
leave you here to wander, broken hearts long.
When the long night surrounds you, be true and hold fast,
hurt fades away, love ever lasts.

Things take time don't you know?
It takes time to know where to go.
No reason to worry, everything is alright.
Sitting with my baby on an October night.

Don't wither in mourning, don't cry out in pain.
Shroud yourself in laughter over all that remains.
Good times they return, but not without cost,
Nothing is replaced, memories aren't lost.

Things take time don't you know?
It takes time to know where to grow.
No reason to worry, everything is alright,
Sitting with my baby on an October night.
