Borrowed Time - Tom Martin

Well, did you know

That I was one of those you left behind

You were up and gone

Without a goodbye

They all said

That you were not the kind to stick around

I only wish I’d known

That it was time

The evenings on the highway

Coming down to be with you

I couldn’t wait to eat

Your home-cooked meal

At nighttime in the moonlight

Wrapped alone inside your arms

I guess it doesn’t mean much how I feel

Summer days

When the wind blows warm

And the skies turn blue

I’ll miss you

And all the while

I was on borrowed time

But I didn’t mind

I thought that you were mine

Well, I put all my confidence

Inside the words you spoke

Words that seemed to make the world

Seem so secure

But when you up and left me here

All by myself

I knew there wasn’t much

I knew for sure

Well, the world’s so damn confusing

So thoughtless and abusing

And I can’t stand the thought of losing you

And I guess it’s not the season

For doing things for reasons

Walking out ain’t a pleasing thing to do

Summer days

When the wind blows warm

And the skies turn blue

I’ll miss you

And all the while

I was on borrowed time

But I didn’t mind

'Cause I thought that you were mine
