TIME WILL COME

TIME WILL COME

Time will come when you will long for
More than just a lover who leaves by stroke of dawn.

Time will come when the bitter world
Falls down around you like a broken song.

And you will inhabit your furious dust,
Long for a companion to heal your pain and rust.

You will feel the cost of the ones you have lost,
The ones you have discarded and given up too soon.

Time will come when your heart requires,
More than a big dick and a pretty face.

Time will come when your years of fun
Will corrode into a bitter race your weary feet cannot sustain.
Time will come when you tread water
And sink beneath a damning rain.

Time will come when your pleasure will evaporate and flee,
And turn into a dreadful scourge that will be mourned and pitied.
Time will come when you long for,
More than a handsome stranger in your bed.
When your voice cries out for tenderness
And a warm soft shoulder on which to lay your head.

For someone to confide in, the secrets that kill and maim,
Another one to go through time with, one who knows your name.

Time will come when you will long for
More than just a lover who leaves by stroke of dawn.
Time will come when the bitter world,
Slips through your fingers like a broken song.

Time will come when your eyes will swell and softly fill with tears,
And you’ll weep for the loss of the golden dreams
You have carried through the years.
