Liz Longley - Overdue lyrics

rate me

It's been a year and a day

Since I fired the engine and sped away

Past the weeping willow

Where we carved our names

Past the open field where summer nights

Would fade into morning

And I was so naive, how could I

Ever let you go, so carelessly

Running from the only truth I've ever known

Well, I was once was green, now I'm blue

Because a love like yours is overdue

Through the fall and the spring

I yearned to feel something

Sleepless nights and strangers' arms

Getting so close, my heart was so far away

And I was so naive, how could I

Ever let you go, so carelessly

Running from the only truth I've ever known

Well, I was once was green, now I'm blue

Because a love like yours is overdue

Because a love like yours

Plays over and over in my head

Like a melody I can't forget, over and over

And over and over again

And I was so naive, how could I

Ever let you go, so carelessly

Running from the only truth I've ever known

I once was green, now I'm blue

Because a love like yours is overdue<br />

<br />
