Song title: The time that never was


The time that never was

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and it cuts me like a knife
I come face-to-face with my longing for another world, another life
And a time that never was, oh a time that never was

We drove on, fueled not by the future, but by a past we could never touch
Forced to run head-on collisions, till we vanished in the dust
Of a time that never was, the time that never was

So kiss me once more baby, one more kiss you must
Don’t ever let me forget, girl, a time that never was
A time that never was, the times that never was
The time that never was, the time that never was

Notes: Outtake, never surfaced, from the The River session, released in a heavily remastered and quite certainly resung version, in the The River Anniversary Box in 2015
