Lyrics

THE TIME WAS RIGHT (for us)

Some people live their lives through story books
Some people love through fairy tales
Some people manage to avoid the hooks
For most of us that sadly fails
So the consequences run
As the clouds that block the sun
But the time was right for us

She pressed her image to my memory
She wrote her name upon my mind
She said there?ll be no charge emotionally
I said I?d like to pay in kind
So the precedent was set
As she smoked her cigarette
And the time was right for us

I told her that I knew
And she said I do, I do
And with the calm of summer evenings
And with the anger of a storm
We brushed away our troubled nights
And came up smiling with the dawn

And now I know just what she?s going to say
And she can tell me what I know
And in the evening she?ll describe her day
Just like she did so long ago
And I?ll hang on every word
Just like the first one that I heard
When the time was right for us

nice "wash" effect the guitars. vocal is recorded well. very nice voice. good call to keep the instrumentation sparse.
Just one little strange tic at the end - did the music track shift upward? probably planned but distracts just a bit.
