Terence Ryan
A Particular Time in Eternity
You had me on the last T

To your house again

Two hours, I spent

To try and repent

But this would be the last time

That I saw you, my friend

Before I went west

There was a change in my chest


But this ain’t where it ends

Still got eternity to go

Find me where time stands still

Got eternity to go

Still got an eternity...



I got off at Broadway

To Southie, where I tried to spare a memory

When we were running faster

Then all our ancestors and founding fathers

This town was ours



But this ain’t where it ends

Still got eternity to go

Find me where time stands still

Got eternity to go

Still got an eternity...



Pines turned to palms

Snow into smog

One year I roamed

Without a home

The world at my fingertips

Feared they go blue

All in a life's work

In the name of you

Felt like an eternity
