Our Time Together
My long-standing Genesis fandom comes out in the last verse, in several references to “Selling England By the Pound.”
Our Time Together – listen
by Geordie Keitt, 1999
-
What do you call so dear a thing? A thousand pearls on a string, yeah yeah
And every day I add another one to the strand of our time together
I’ve never been so close to love, but close is close as I can come, yeah yeah
When I hold your hand you don’t hold mine, no, it’s not the end of time, just our time together
-
(Pre-Chorus)
-
Why do you try me on for size? Honey I don’t think that that’s too wise, no…
(Chorus)
-
Cause every day’s another pearl, dripping off the strand of a broken necklace
You’re the world’s most cynical girl but tonight you got me feeling dumb and reckless
Just wanna make the most of our time together
-
At the river crossing there seems to be too much traffic too much heat
I guess our time is at an end, oh no, just wanna be your friend and spend some time together
-
(Pre-Chorus)
-
Why do you trace your features bold when the gold’s already cold in the mold?
(Chorus)
-
So dance on out with the moonlit knight, you never know what he might fix for breakfast
Are you prepared? No? Hold on tight cause tonight he’s gonna repair that necklace
So we can string the pearls of our time together
