lyrics

When the summer ends, and the leaves turn and the snowflakes fall
Will a fire inside you still burn, will a voice still call
Will it keep you up at night, maybe we just didn't get our timing right

We had a falling out, after falling into love's cruel game
We were young in the springtime when we fell just like rain
Into each others eyes, maybe we just didn't get our timing right

You went off to the see the world, for such a pretty world it is
As I myself I watched a girl become a woman
We both saw love was blind, maybe we just couldn't get it right this time

Here in the city where things they don't change, I make my rounds
I go out there and I hear your name in the echoing sounds
Beneath a lonely street light, maybe we just didn't get our timing right

No I'm not saying words like love, I don't say much these days
All the things I was thinking of I can't use to explain
I guess I couldn't decide, maybe we just didn't get our timing right

So if you find another kind of lover, I hope they know
Just how precious and special you are, gentle like a rose
When you let them inside, maybe we just didn't get our timing right

As I lay down in my bed, with a restless feeling on my mind
What life would be like if we'd never met, if we never did try
Forever is a long time, maybe we just didn't get it right this time

So if you ever do come back this way, if you ever still think of me
Maybe I'll have found the words to say, what you mean to me
For now farewell, goodbye, maybe someday still we'll get our timing right

Joe Nolan Edmonton, Alberta

Cry Baby's 10-song collection is a trip through melancholic madness, touching on darkness & depression, broken relationships & endless booze-fuelled evenings. Yet at its core is Nolan’s unwavering strength as a lyricist, & his wounded-heart delivery that reminds us of our humanity. It's, in essence, Nolan unapologetically sharing his story, & through that finding a second chance & a new beginning. ... more
