Until It's Time for You to Go

(Buffy Sainte Marie)



I'm not a king, I'm not a saint, I'm a man

You're not a queen you're a woman take my hand

We'll make a space in the lives that we planned

And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go.



Don't ask why, don't ask how

Don't ask forever, love me, love me now

This love of mine had no beginning, it has no end

I was an oak now I'm a willow, now I can bend.



And though I'll never in my life see you again

Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go

Don't ask why, of me don't ask how of me

Don't ask forever of me, love me, love me now.



I'm not a king, I'm not a saint, I'm a man

You're not a queen you're a woman take my hand

We'll make a space in the lives that we planned

And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go...
