Nothing But Time

You’re looking for perfection
I can see it in your eyes
It’s a shameful misconception baby
I got nothing but time

It’s cynical and unkind
To say that we are blind
You’ve been critical of both our lives
Just open your eyes

Didn’t I do what you wanted
Didn’t I do
Ooh give it to you
Those things you needed
Didn’t I do

Remembering those first nights
We were dreaming of the time
With our family by the fireside
Said we’d give it a try

The loneliness and dark times
The feeling we’re apart
Those timеs we wouldn’t talk about it
Now we’re counting thе cost

Didn’t I do what you wanted
Didn’t I do
Ooh give it to you
Those things you needed
Didn’t I do

Who can say how many hours
We’ll be sharing in this house
You can climb some ivory tower
Of the front steps to your life

Grey streaks of imperfection
The deep increasing lines
The physical inspection
You put me through
Is the proof that I tried

Ooh
What you wanted
Ooh ooh
Those things you needed
Ooh...
Open your eyes
Didn't I do (...ooh)
What you wanted
Didn’t I do (...ooh)
Give it to you
Open your eyes
Didn't I do (...ooh)
Nothing but time
