A song for my friend Elizabeth who lost a son to suicide and the failings of Australia's mental health services. I will probably add some harmony vocals.

lyrics

Time
By Ken Davis © 2013

Think its time to paint your room
Paint it pink not blue
Friends try to tell me I'm heartless and cold
They don't know me like you

So I'm changing the curtains
Dusting off memories
Gave St Vinnies your clothes
Except for the jumper I knitted that summer
I still like to hold it so close
So close

I need some time to get over this
Its not time for moving on
They say that time heals everything
Well this is my journey
And I'll take the time that I want

Weeks turn into years
Daylight disappears
Tom's getting married to Anna-Maree
We all wish you were here

So I'm making the flowers
I'll put on my red dress
Paint my lips and my hair
Take a deep breath
And hold it inside
Sometime life isn't fair
You're not there

I need some time to get over this
Its not time for moving on
They say that time heals everything
Well this is my journey
And I'll take the time that I want

ll the years have left me numb
Waiting for the sun
I still miss my baby
I still miss my boy
And all that you might have become

So I sit in the silence
Alone in the dark
Swim in my river of tears
Time heals the wounds but I'll carry the scars
My bittersweet souvenirs

I need some time to get over this
Its not time for moving on
They say that time heals everything
Well this is my journey
And I'll take the time that I want
