Time To Move Along
(Ed Du Bois)
Lyrics and Music by Ed Du Bois, September 25, 2005, Copyright 2006
I originally started this song after hurricane Wilma hit Florida and Bimini on October 25,2005. My houseboat in Bimini was sunk and the place a mess. I came back defeated and felt that my Bimini dream was not to be. I've worked hard on that project and I always thought that I could pull it off, but now I'm not too sure. It might be Time To Move Along. As I put the song together though I realized that it was purely a tragedy only for me and my kids and not a very sympathetic cause. We all wanted to see it happen but really no one else cared. So I changed the song to a mid life crisis/depression song. When I finished the song I really liked, it made me cry. I was attached to the song emotionally because of my mid life crisis hit when I was about forty and lasted about four years. I know that hopeless, helpless feeling expressed in Don't know the answers, don't know why and Time to move along. You just want to cut and run! Glad I didn't.
Capo at second fret, chords G; D; C
1
Seems time to move along,
Sad to say there's something wrong,
No one's to blame cept me,
Guess it just..wasn't meant to be.
Chorus
Oh, no how I hate to say goodbye,
Oh, no how I hate to make you cry.
2
Time took a toll on me,
Broke my will..stole my everything,
No I don't know where it's at,
I'll move along ain't lookin back.
Chorus
3
May be another day,
...Just right now it doesn't seem that way,
Please won't ya hear my cry,
Don't know the answers don't know why.
Chorus
Repeat # 1
