Meaning-meaningless

Ron Pope

Intro: verse 1 In the sweet embrace of twilight Just before the night time came All her children in the front yard There was laughter on the breeze Then a call came from her father In his house halfway 'cross town He said "Love, I hate to tell you, But your mother, she's gone now." And time, moving quickly before our eyes Oh why do these moments seem to fly? verse 2 So she tries to tell her husband But she cannnot make a sound And he hears through all the silence So before she hits the ground He says "Baby, are you with me?" And she opens up her eyes And she says "I lost my mother," And a piece of her heart dies And time, moving quickly before our eyes Oh why do these moments seem to fly? And time, moving quickly before our eyes Oh why do these moments seem to fly? I am trapped and wondering why ... Bridge (x4) verse 3 Now it's late and she is restless All her girls are tucked in bed She is searching for a meaning When all words feel meaningless And the hardest part of losing Is the memory of the win And the hardest part of letting go Is when you know you never can Yeah, the hardest part of letting go Is when you know you never can And time, moving quickly before our eyes Oh why do these moments seem to fly? And time, moving quickly before our eyes Oh why do these moments seem to fly? I am trapped and wondering why ... Moving quickly before our eyes x2 This is the guitar riff for the bridge - again, listen to the song for the rhythm.
