Lyrics Only a Moment - John Graham

Only a Moment

once she squeaked into the room, now she’s clickin' down the street,
downtown lights that drew her in show a flicker on her face,
he wears stripes and never checks on the weather or his watch,
underneath the books unread there’s a picture that he keeps
come on, come on, come on, it’s only a moment.
come on, come on, come on, it’s only a moment.
though it felt like standin' still they were closer every day,
smiles nd laughter through the dark, like a future he can’t see
could they be the last ones left, coughin' up for one last ride,
tell him every truth you know and he’ll never believe you
come on, come on, come on, it’s only a moment.
come on, come on, come on, it’s only a moment.
one hand gives while the other takes,
the loneliest bed is the one he makes,
time could save him but he don’t learn
and the very last bridge is the one that he just burned.
come on, come on, come on, it’s only a moment.
come on, come on, come on, it’s only a moment.
