IT'S OVER



If time were not a moving thing 

And I could make it stay 

This hour of love we share would always be 

There'd be no coming day

To shine a morning light 

Make us realize our night

Is over



When you walk away from me there 

Is no place to put my hand

Except to shade my eyes against the sun 

That rises o'er the land

I watch you walk away somehow 

I have to let you go now 

It's over



If you knew just how I really

Feel you might return and yet

There are so many times that people 

Have to love and then forget

Though there might have been a way 

I have to force myself to say 

It's over



[ strings ]



So I turn my back and 

Turn my collar to the wind

Move along in silence 

Tryin' not to think at all, 

Send my tired feet before me

Walk the silent street before me 

It's over 

It's over
