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 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's spilt

is magic and we all need to believe we can

wake up in the 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 the fears.

Time is tougher than we both know yet

and time enough for tears.

I heard you say

underneath your breath

some kind of prayers.

I heard you say

underneath your breath

that you never want to feel this way about anybody else.

Time enough for hard questions.

Time enough for all our 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 okay...)

(It's okay...)
