...you had time...


"You Had Time" (lyrics by Ani di Franco)

"How can I go home... I've nothing to say...
I know you're going to look at me... that way...
And say... What did you do out there? and what did you decide?
You say... You needed time and you had time...
You are a china shop... and I am a bull
You are really good food... and I am full
I guess everything is timing...
I guess everything's been said... so I'm coming home, with an empty head...
You'll say...Did they love you or what?
I'll say... They love what I do, but the only one... who really loves me... is you.
And you'll say... Girl did you kick some butt?
And I'll say... I don't really remember, but my fingers are sore... and my voice is too...
You'll say... It's really good to see you!
You'll say... I've missed you horribly?!
You'll say... let me carry that, give that to me...
And you will take the heavy stuff... and you will drive the car... and I'll look out the window, making jokes... about the way things are...
How can I go home, with nothing to say?
I know you're going to look at me... that way...
And say... What did you do out there? and... What did you decide?
You said you needed time... you had time..."
I gave you, all you asked from me... love... time... space and love again... still.. when will u return to love me... in space... until the end of time?
