The Times You've Come

In the time we've known that we each are a part of one another We've lost as much as we have won And as our lives have grown we have found that it only brings us pain To hang on to the things that we have done Still I love the times you've come When you went away taking all that I'd built my false road on I dropped my life and couldn't find the pieces Now you come and go and it's hard but I feel my strength returning We'll see how far this new road reaches We'll see a little more each time we come Now everybody's gonna tell you it's not worth it Everybody's gotta show you their own pain You might try to find your way up around it But the need for love will still remain Now we're lying here so safe in the ruins of our pleasures Laughter marks the place where we have fallen And our lives are near so it wouldn't occur to us to wonder Is this the past or the future that is calling You know I've loved these times you've come
