Lyrics
Forgotten Time lyrics & music by carrie clark He eats limes to make the sunshine and ice cream to bring the rain He’s a man who speaks in riddles while he takes away your pain And he’ll show you in a mirror what you thought no one can see He’ll show you in a mirror all that you can be Quietly he strums an old guitar with pick marks worn through the wood And he’ll sing a song about another day when life wasn’t as good While the whiskey a dream and the smoke wraps around him like a cloak Of dreams left unanswered from a lifetime and this song is what he wrote A quarter for your thoughts because inflation took the dime Nestled in a memory of a long forgotten time A dusty road we have traveled to what end no one can see But the whiskey and the cigarettes, this guitar and an old melody But this whiskey is driving me to what end no one can see But this tired road and this old guitar and the bottle that is bound to save me A quarter for your thoughts because inflation took the dime Nestled in a memory of a long forgotten time He eats limes to make the sunshine and ice cream to bring the rain
