lyrics

we're caught up on time
or maybe it's time's caught up with us
either way
the rain has come and it's bringing the rust
like a dream slowly drifting away
in the dawn of the unknown day

you'll want to pretend
that what's going down can't really be the truth
but you know
she's already given you all the proof
that you need to know you're finally alone
still in love and your bird has flown

the moment's gone, so why hold on
see I've got this memory
in the night it won't let me be

I'll catch you later on
I could be wrong...right now I just don't care
what it takes
to keep this battered heart beating on
and survive to see another love
'til you finally say enough is enough

the moment's gone, so why hold on
see I've got this memory
in the night it won't let me be
the moment goes, so why get close
see it's everything to me
to see what you could be

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
