Bob Bearfield: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

if time could tell our story
I think that it would say
that trouble struck a ship that sailed a perfect waterway

distracted by survival
we lost sight of our plan
to sail the ship together to the perfect lovers' land

as seconds turned to minutes
and hours into days
and months turned into desperate ploys to leave the ship at bay

we swam off from each other
forgetting that it takes
two to work together for the love we planned to make

and it's alright

we found this island and the sun's come out
and there's the chance to work through doubt
that we can build a better boat with what is left
if we have hope

if time could tell our story
I think that it would see
both of us torn up between what was and what could be

resentment for each other
that things could get so bad
and longing for the laughter and the love that we once had

and it's alright

we have the chance to nurture either choice
we could part but time might voice
that sometimes love can be seen through
with special care to make it new

it time could tell our story
I think that it would say
that weather can be overcome with team work on a rainy day

and overall it's worth it
time has seen before
the light that love can shine after weathering a storm

and it's alright

we found this island and the sun's come out
and there's the chance to work through doubt
that we can build a better boat with what is left
and we have the chance to nurture either choice
we could part but time might voice
that sometimes love can be seen through
with special care to make it new

let's make it new

if you can bring the lumber
and I can bring the tools
then we can build a stronger ship
that isn't just a ship of fools

let's make it new
