It's Over

(Jimmie Rodgers)

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This love we shared
Would always be
There′d be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realise our love
Is over

And now you walk away from me
And there's no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes
Against the sun that comes to warm the land
I watch you walk away somehow
I have to let you go now
It′s over

It's too late to tell you how I feel
Our love was real
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

And so I walk away and turn my collar to the wind
I walk along in silence trying not to think at all
I put my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It′s over

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This love we shared would always be
There′d be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realise our love
Is over

It's over
It′s over
It's over
