In America – Time Enough for Tears – Lyrics

Let’s read the trees and their autumn leaves

As they fall like a dress undone

At the end of summers love will find lovers

Who need the shadows of a winter’s sun

Don’t tell me you’re leaving

We can hide in the evening

It’s getting darker than it should

If we read the leaves as they blow in the breeze

Would it stop us now my love

Time enough for hard questions

Time enough for all our fears

Time is tougher than we both know yet

Time enough for tears

The moon is milk and the sky where it split

It’s magic and we all need to believe

We can wake in our dream

It’s not as hard as it seems

You know it’s harder to leave

Time enough for being braver

Time enough for all our fears

Time is tougher than we both know yet

Time enough for tears

I heard you say underneath your breath

Some kind of prayer

I heard you say underneath your breath

That you never wanna feel

this way about anybody else

Time enough for hard questions

Time enough for all your fears

Time is tougher than we both know yet

Time enough for tears

Time enough for being braver

Time enough I love this time of year

Time is tough it’s running away from us

Time enough for tears

Time enough

(I know, I know)

(It’s ok, it’s ok)
