Lyrics: Laura Bradshaw
Music: Laura Bradshaw
Ties rarely sever clean
Because the people we have been
Need time to say goodbye –
A new you, new I
But we, we will talk as friends
At family gatherings –
We’ll talk about our girls
Then go home to separate worlds
And I know it’s hard for you
But the easy thing to do
Rarely lets us grow
And I think it’s time, you know
So he, he will rent a house
And she’ll move back down South
Isn’t life a funny thing?
Isn’t life a gamble?
And now you feel you’re on your own
Although the girls still phone
It feels up uphill climb
Around the second time
And I know it’s hard for you
But the easy thing to do
Rarely lets us grow
And I think it’s time, you know
So when the dust has settled some
And a path makes itself known
It won’t hurt so much to say
And the path will be your own
And then, when you’re quietly sat
And your mind might travel back
I hope you’ll just be glad
For all you have, and had
