"A Short While Ago" lyrics

"A Short While Ago"

I've been feeling my eyes have been stealing
Time that's not my own
I know I'm walking knee-deep in my feelings
But if love comes and finds me alone
Summer sun, come find me alone, alone

Love came and it touched my shoulder
It was not my own
It made her feel so sad when I told her
She said it for the sake of the sound
Screaming love in a deep, dark hole in the ground

Green shadows on a cold, white morning
I never dreamed of such a lonely dawn
Cold tree ladders only whispered a warning
That a brave man never looks down
He never knows what a fool he might've found

And I've been feeling my eyes have been stealing
Time that's not my own
I know I'm walking knee-deep in my feelings
But if love comes and finds me alone
Summer sun, come find me alone, alone
