Stephen Koritta - I Knew Your Time

In a phrase that turns. In a verse that climbs
The hooks and lines sinkin' down so deep
I kept my notes while you kept the time
I knew your time wasn't mine to keep

At a tender age, I heard the cage door swing
Was a newborn bird, waiting in the wing
With the house lights down and the curtain high
My mind was sound, still, my heart was shy

For good long measure, we busted up the place
We could have gone forever but it was just a date
'Til the closing bar, we were thick as thieves
We divvied up the earnings then you turned to leave

You say, "In times like these, people bounce around"
But I feel that breeze when you blow through town
When you're on that rise, would you count me in?
Many hours of flight since you knew me when

Many springs up north. Many falls down south
How right you were! That's what life's about
As the seasons blur and the years tick by
Is your pulse still strong? Is your hat still high?

In a phrase that turns. In a verse that climbs
The hooks and lines sinkin' down so deep
I kept my notes while you kept the time
I knew your time wasn't mine to keep
