"This Time Forever" lyrics - BOB WEIR

We'd had plenty of lovers
We had put in our time
We were anything but blind

Just as certain as angels
Of perpetual flight
When we met, we saw the light

This one for sure
This time forever
But it turned to sand
Slipping through our hands
As time slipped away
She was a stranger
When I woke and saw her face

She moved in for the winter
Made a garden in May
Summer came then the cold autumn grey

And I was gone when she left me
There was nothing to leave
Swept away on a breeze

This one for sure
This time forever
But it turned to sand
Slipping through our hands
As time slipped away
She was a stranger
When I woke and saw her face
