SURE THING

(B. Thompson)

Time and time I tell her, I say
Don't hold back and you'll get your way
Until that day, until you do
There'll be nothing more here for you
Except the time and the space you need
To remove the skin you grew to keep your love from seeping
Oh no, there's no way to bring back all the days that you wished away

That's a sure thing

Busy days, there's no time about you
Honestly, nobody doubts you
But still you find me with my faith in my hand
And my eyes on the boat that holds the little man

That's a sure thing

My Lord, sakes alive, about time I got down to something bonafide

That's a sure thing

I've been nowhere but I've been all right
If my luck holds out I'll be with you tonight
Say what you want, say what you will
Say nothing at all even better still
Until I want you, and I implore you, just as soon as but not before
Oh no, it's OK, love is love and not fade away

That's a sure thing
