Lyrics Unwinding - Janis Ian

Unwinding

The hours pass, the night unwinds
You left my heart a beat behind
Time is a friend and a foe
I never dreamed you would go
Love is a clock unwinding
'Round and around
'Til the feelings run down
I toss and I turn
'Til I’m all tired out
I know I told you not to worry
I’ll be fine
It’s just a matter of the heart
And that takes time to unwind
I saw your sister yesterday
We couldn’t find a lot to say
I took an apartment downtown
I’m getting used to it now
Leaving the past behind me
'Round and around
'Til the feelings run down
I toss and I turn
'Til I’m all tired out
I know I told you not to worry
I’ll be fine
It’s just a matter of the heart
And that takes time to unwind
Oh, 'round and around
'Til the feelings run down
I toss and I turn
'Til I’m all tired out
I know I told you not to worry
I’ll be fine
It’s just a matter of the heart
And that takes time to unwind
