Just wasn't enough time

Just wasn't enough time


Just wasn't enough time, wasn't enough time
We had just begun to heal old wounds
when you walked through the veil, beyond reach
to the other side without saying adieu


We had just begun to heal old wounds
What was once a day for make believe fun
became dreadful, gray, and empty,
with autumn leaves descending in colorless silence


What was once a day for make believe fun
Now hallow, naked, and cold
became dreadful, gray, and empty
a reason to stay in bed, or get drunk.


Now hallow, naked, and cold
A day to forget, best to wipe it from the calendar
a reason to stay in bed, or get drunk
All the sweets now bitter and brine


Best to wipe it from the calendar
when you walked through the veil
All Hallows Eve now a sorrowful reminder
Just wasn't enough time, wasn't enough time
