Busman's Holiday Alone
[Verse 1: Lew]
Darling, I feel, though we say we are near
That our hearts are divided by words
All this time set aside spent repeating the line that
We said only 'cause it felt right
And though I loved you a lot it's the love that forgot
To change with the time that we kept
So don't tell me your thoughts haven't come 'cross this once
I have seen how you stare at the wall
[Chorus: Lew]
And you'll hold on to something that you knew
Hold up a cloud to show the silver lining grew
When the time is right, soon you will fly away
Find another much closer to say 'I love you'
So just leave me alone. I don't love you no more
Let this time we spent grow old, slip and die on the floor
Yeah, and half of what I'm saying will never reach your heart
[Verse 2: Lew]
Unlike trees who are blind to the constraints of time
And they change when they feel that it's right
We chose to linger along holding notes of a song
That we sang such a long time ago
Do you remember the sun, count the clouds one by one?
We could blink and the day would be done
Never used to say days were good, it was just understood
Seems these days, 'good' is all that we say
[Chorus: Lew]
And you'll hold on to something that you knew
Hold up a cloud to show the silver lining grew
When the time is right, soon you will fly away
Find another much closer to say 'I love you'
So just leave me alone. I don't love you no more
Let this time we spent grow old, slip and die on the floor
Yeah, and half of what I'm saying will never reach your heart
[Verse 3: Lew]
Well, fear took over time took over time
Showed the new the new will leave our futures blind
If you have something that's fine just leave it fine
You don't want to regret that you'd left something behind
