In the Time We’ve Got - The One AM Radio

I took you to the place where I was born
You said that it was just as I'd described
We moved in soon after the days turned warm
Just in time to see the spring arrive
I watched you through the windows in our room
Your hair grew long under the arbor shade
Our love was new
But the hour grew late too soon
How suddenly that honeyed light would fade
You had the city in you
Always in the way you moved were the skyline and the avenues
You had the city in you
I knew
Always in the way you moved were the skyline and the avenues
When the autumn came
The leaves turned one by one
'Til the barren trees were left to stand alone
You still felt the same
You said
As since we had begun
But a longing crept into the eyes I'd known
I watched you pack
I was rooted to the spot
We fell asleep a while beneath the oak
It's our job to live as well as we can in the time
We've got was written in the note I found when I woke
You had the city in you
Always in the way you moved were the skyline and the avenues
You had the city in you
I knew
So before the weary ache wore through
You slipped back into the avenues
You had the city in you
It's our job to live as well as we can in the time we've got
Always in the way you moved were the skyline and the avenues
You had the city in you
I knew
It's our job to live as well as we can in the time we've got
So before the weary ache wore through
You slipped back into the avenues
