lyrics

Time waits for no one, not even my grief
I’m left here waiting for some sweet relief

And I can’t get over your last Irish goodbye
I’m next in line to clean up the mess you left behind

And everytime I throw away a piece of you
There is a cardinal who loses its wings

Time waits for no one, not even my grief
I’m left here waiting for some sweet relief

Ooo

And it’s so fitting that you’d leave in spring
I’d see you in the leaves that wore their newfound green
And you were the goldfinch with greenish-yellow tinge
And it’s hard to sit with grief when she’s this bittersweet

And before you even know
Autumn comes for spring
Riding on the back of summer’s wings

Time waits for no one, not even my grief
I’m left here waiting for some sweet relief

Ooo
