Chris Smither - Time Stands Still lyrics

I've been blind, she's been kind. She knows at times I forget to see. Through a cold dark cloud, An imaginary shroud or a shadow settles over me. I once was smart, it was back at the start. I offered her my body and my soul. Thought in my heart it would tear me apart; It made me whole. Keep it simple, keep it clear. It's what we like to hear. She don't argue, she don't ever lie. If I say it's so, it's so. She don't want to know If it's a metaphor or something in disguise. She let me know, a long time ago It's better to say just what I mean. Truth to tell it can hurt like hell, But it keeps me clean. My guiding star, I don't stray far. I keep her in my mind and in my eye. I've been lost before, but never any more. I just look up at my compa** in the sky. I had my fears, in the early years, That I'd locked me up and throw'd away the key I lost my mind to the ties that bind, But it set me free Oh she's fast, I know I'll never ask, She's by me now but I don't really mind I hardly know, I'm oh so slow, My shadow often kicks me from behind. I once was fast, in the distant past. In a mighty demonstration of my will, I kissed her twice at the speed of light. Time stood still. I kissed her twice at the speed of light, And time stood still.
