What am I going to do?
The illusions I live by
Are all through
I know I need more time
I know I need more time

What do I do, where do I go?
Friends would take me
I know
I know I need more time
I know I need more time

Chorus
I need time to heal
I need time to grow
I need time to find out what I know

I need time to feel
I need time to know
I need time
To find the Time to go….

So many places I can be
But only one that I want
Can’t you see?
I know I need more time
But home is home no longer

Chorus

How do I go from here?
Relieve the stress
Pain and fear?
Home is home no more
The sands of Time have run out
on the floor….

Chorus
I need time to heal
I need time to grow
I need time- but time’s all gone, I know

I need time to feel
I need time to know
I need time
To find the Time to go….

I need time
To find the Time to go….

No more time….
It’s Time to go….

This was written the moment I realized that my marriage was going to end. In our society, there’s very little acknowledgement that things take, and require- time. In some cases lots of time. Susan had made her decision; and I count my blessings that she gave me time to reach mine.
