For A Short Time Lyrics

For A Short Time lyrics

Sometimes you can say more, in a drunken hour or so Than some people get across,
in a life of lying low. And sometimes you can feel more, for someone you've
barley kissed, but you don't see it at the time, and the moment that you've
missed. For a short time, she was standing there, and you saw her, she saw you
and you recall the colour of her hair. For a long time, you never thought of
her, Then you heard she was gone for good, You might have cried then if you
could, Would have looked foolish if you did, somewhere The tears are falling in
your mind, For a short time. There's a photo of your gang, on the night she hung
about, and you're looking like a wag, you've got your fat tongue poking out. But
she's no-where to be seen, you won't spot her anywhere. It was her who took the
picture, you were looking straight at her. For a short time, she was standing
there, and you saw her, she saw you and you recall the colour of her hair. For
a long time, you never thought of her, Then you heard she was gone for good,
You might have cried then if you could, Would have looked foolish if you did,
somewhere The tears are falling in your mind, For a short time. Tell me how
long is a short time, is it longer than two hours, Or a bit less than a
weekend. Is it shorter than a year? Is it the time it takes to not complete
your business with a person, With a friend you make in transit, to a daughter
held so dear.
