I waited at the borderline,
Between the 2 and 89.
With nervous thoughts, it felt alright.
I met you at the borderline,
I was sure I saw you from a mile.
My heart beating on and off in time.
And I know that
Time ain’t on my side right now, and I need someone.
It’s dark outside and in my heart, I’ve been struggling.
Thinking of all those that I have loved and hurt all at once.
I should go back and try and mend some.
I’ve still got love for you my darling,
I had to let that dove go fluttering.
We were fixing for some trouble mmmm.
And maybe the timing just wasn’t right.
Or is my mind playing tricks at night?
But when I dream I still feel alright.
And I know that
Time ain’t on my side right now, and I need someone.
It’s dark outside and in my heart, I’ve been struggling.
Thinking of all those that I have loved and hurt all at once.
I should go back and try and mend some.
