I’ve never seen a rainbow without first seeing rain
and for a while, that was reason enough to abstain from loving you,
but there are moments when I
wish I could melt with you,
linger like plumes of smoke from
lover’s cigarettes, hanging just outside the door;
golden light, glimmering,
moving faintly, softly,
Blend the boundary line
with time and sweet caress.
It’s time, way past time.
It’s time to say it if you don’t want me to go.
I’ve been wandering for some time,
too flippant to truly make my mind up
on how to move with such a one as you
who changes faster than the seasons do.
No clues, no fuze, no leads to follow,
you set me a whirl but leave the center of me hollow.
I could stay but my time is borrowed;
too old to pine for avoidable sorrows.
All the time we wasted-
don’t regret it or replace it.
Still it’s foolish to neglect the signs.
It’s time, way past time.
It’s time to say it if you don’t want me to go.
I swear in time you’ll find it’s fine to have me on your mind.
I swear in time you’ll find you wish I’d gone and made you mine.
You’ve got to understand (step by step, hand over hand),
I’ve gotta chase my horizons with or without a man.
It’s time, way past time.
It’s time to say it if you don’t want me to go.
