This Time Lyrics



There’s an old hardwood tree

Staring through the glass at me

It’s been there since ‘85

Sometimes I think it reads my mind

I guess it’s true

You can’t keep it from shining through



There’s no denying I’ve been hiding

From this thing that’s chasing me

Yeah, I’ve been running, no good at shunning

All these scars from yesterday

There comes a time you gotta give it up

Spin that wheel and try your luck

Never know what you will find

It might be love this time



I knew it from that very first smile

I could taste it like a hungry child

Not at all like all the rest

You know they say that the last is best

Like a rainbow on a cloudy day

Just your shadow takes my breath away



And there’s no denying I’ve been hiding

From this thing that’s chasing me

Yeah, I’ve been running, no good at shunning

All these scars from yesterday

There comes a time you gotta give it up

Spin that wheel and try your luck

Never know what you will find

It might be love this time



I’ve been hiding

From this thing that’s chasing me

Yeah, I’ve been running, no good at shunning

All these scars from yesterday

There comes a time you gotta give it up

Spin that wheel and try your luck

Never know what you will find

It might be love this time

This time, this time, oh this time

This time, this time
