Marie-lynn Hammond But For The Timing Lyrics

But For The Timing Lyrics

seven white pebbles

some rose-speckled shells

they were sleeping in
my pockets

when we last exchanged farewells

oh the things we keep,
the things we throw away 



somewhere on the west coast

on a
long stretch of beach

I called you and I called

but you were moving
out of reach

oh the times we hear, the times we turn away 



chorus:

and Im sorry for whatever came between

sorry for the
love that might have been

but for the timing 



perhaps if wed
met later

or else sometime before

if only I had loved you less

if you had loved me more

oh the things we learn, the things we learn
too late 



chorus



one star in the twilight

soon
therell be more

but I dont think Ill try wishing

dont feel as lucky
as I did before 



all the strange and empty spaces

Ive since
travelled on my own

with a handful of seashells

a pocketful of
stones

oh the things we keep, the things we throw away

oh the
things we feel, the things we never say



chorus
