For A Short Time lyrics

Sometimes you can say more, in a drunken hour or so
Than some people get across, in a life of lying low
And sometimes you can feel more, for someone you've barely kissed
But you don't see it at the time, and the moment that you've missed

For a short time, she was standing there
And you saw her, she saw you and you recall the colour of her hair
For a long time, you never thought of her
Then you heard she was gone for good
You might have cried then if you could
Would have looked foolish if you did, somewhere
The tears are falling in your mind
For a short time

There's a photo of your gang, on the night she hung about
And you're looking like a wag, you've got your fat tongue poking out
But she's nowhere to be seen, you won't spot her anywhere
It was her who took the picture, you were looking straight at her

For a short time, she was standing there
And you saw her, she saw you and you recall the colour of her hair
For a long time, you never thought of her
Then you heard she was gone for good
You might have cried then if you could
Would have looked foolish if you did, somewhere
The tears are falling in your mind
For a short time
