It's Over

It's Over

(Jimmie Rodgers)



If time were not a moving thing and I could make it stay this hour

The love we share will always be there'll be no coming day

To shine a morning light make us realize all night is over



When you walk away from me there is no place to put my hand

Except to shade my eyes against the sun that rises over land

I watch you walk away somehow

I have to let you go now it's over



If you knew just how I really feel you might be turning yet

There are so many times that people have to love and then forget

There might have been a way somehow

I have to force myself to say it's over



So I turn my back and turn my colar to the wind

Move along in silence trying not to think at all

I send my feet before me walk the silence street

Before me now it's over.



It's over, oh, it's over, yes, it's over.
