All at Once

Had a fight with my daughter

She flew off in a rage

Third time this week

Don’t tell me it’s the age

Don’t know how I lost her

I only know that it’s a shame

Ever since her daddy left her

The girl ain’t been the same

All at once I hear your voice

And time just slips away

Nothing they could say can hold me here

Take me where I only feel

The wind across my face

Let me know there’s someplace left for me

Waiting there for me

Ah, who am I kiddin’

I should have known he’d never leave

The time we spent together

Is harder than the time between

You wouldn’t think it could hurt so

To see ‘em out the other day

If that’s what he calls leavin’

I guess I threw it all away

All at once I hear your voice

And time just sips away

Nothing they could say can hold me here

Take me where I only feel

The wind across my face

Let me know there’s someplace left for me

Waiting there for me

They say women, we’re the stronger

Somehow we make it through

Hell, that ain’t what I feel right now

I don’t even think it’s true

To me there’s lots more broken

Than anyone can really see

Why the angels turn their backs on some

It’s a mystery to me

All at once I hear your voice

And time just sips away

Nothing they could say can hold me here

Take me where I only feel

The wind across my face

Let me know there’s someplace left for me
