A friend of mine
She cries at night
And she calls me
On the phone
Sees babies
Everywhere she goes
And she wants
One of her own
She's waited
Long enough
She says and still
He can't decide
Pretty soon she'll
Have to choose
And it tears her
Up inside
She's scared
Scared to run
Out of time
I see my folks
Are getting on
And I watch their
Bodies change
I know they see
The same in me
And it makes us
Both feel strange
No matter how
You tell yourself
It's what we all
Go through
Lines are pretty
Hard to take
When they're starin'
Back at you
Oh oh oh
Scared to run out
Of time
When did the choices
Get so hard
With so much more
At stake
Ooh life gets
Mighty precious
When there's less
Of it to waste
Yeah yeah
Ooo-ooo
Scared to run out
Of time
Just when I thought
I had enough
And all my tears
Were shed
No promise left
Unbroken
There were no
Painful words unsaid
You came along
And showed me
How to leave it
All behind
You opened up
My heart again
And then much
To my surprise
I found love
Love in the nick
Of time
I found love darlin'
Love in the nick
Of time
I found love baby
Love in the nick
Of time
Oo-oo-oo-oo
