Words & Music by Lynn Sutter Adler

lyrics

There was something I was just about to say,
But then it didn't seem the time
So I just rehearsed my lines.
Seems the day just slipped away,
And so did you.
And now it seems the time instead to bear the weight of things unsaid.

I was waiting just to hear a word from you
But you were waiting for me too.
So what else is new?
Next thing you know those years they sure can fly,
And who knows why we never speak
Or why we hide instead of seek?

It used to be I'd count to ten. I'd come runnin'.
You'd count to ten. Come runnin' too.
If we don't count for one another,
What are we coming to?

I lost track of just whose turn it was to call
But I've been busy after all
What with building up this wall.
And we wonder how the distance grows so wide
When love waits on the other side
Of the places we all hide.

There was a time I'd count to ten. I'd come runnin'.
You'd count to ten. Come runnin' too.
If we don't count for one another,
What are we coming to?

There was something I was just about to say, but then it didn't seem the time.
I was waiting just to hear a word from you, but you were waiting for me too.
I lost track of just whose turn it was to call, but I've been busy after all.
