That's The Time

from Great Possessions by The Giving Tree Band

lyrics

She grew up in Illinois
She fell in love with a local boy
She headed out of East Moline
For the mountains she never seen

Said goodbye to her ma and pa
Who were headed down to Arkansas
Gonna meet a real cowboy someday
And that’s the time
She went away

All in all
We’re all long gone
Like a river that roars its lonely call
Through the dark and cold winter nights
The sun will rise
Down the long, long road
I’ll be coming home

She crossed that river
Deep and wide
When she reached the other side
She felt a freedom she didn’t know
Now her nights were dark and cold

Back home he prayed to the Lord above
That he would always be in love
She couldn’t feel his warmth from miles away
And that’s the time she did stray

He knew he best be moving on
For that fair love of his was gone
And time don’t wait for any man
Although some days he’d go back again

His brother took on the family farm
Never meaning any harm
The bottle never was his friend
And that’s the time he met his end
