Mark Geary – By The Time lyrics

And by the time the thought had crossed your mind
What you might have said
We end up fighting back
We're loosing track and getting out of bed
Don't think I know the time
Well I have felt like this
You think I'd recognise
Perhaps a little bit
All this time I never cried for you
And I still can't

And by the time the word was out
That you had lost your head
We tried to substitute
We turned to mute to talk instead
And they all want it
But they won't lend a hand
And we have forgot it yeah
But we won't quit the band
And we all watch them draw lines in the sand
And all this time I never cried for you
And I still can't

By the time the thought had crossed your mind
What you might have said
We end up fighting back
We're loosing track and getting out of bed
Don't think I know the time
Well I have felt like this
I tried to recognise
The thoughts a little bit
All this time I never cried for you
And I still can't

They all want it
But they won't lend a hand
And we have forgot it
But we won't quit the band
And we all know it turns to dust in our hand
