Liz Longley Overdue song lyrics

It's been a year to the day

Since I fired the engines and sped away

Past the weeping willow

Where we carved our names

Past the open field

Where summer nights would fade into morning

And I was so naive

How could I ever let you go so carelessly Running from the only truth I've ever known

I once was green, now I'm blue

Because a love like yours is overdue

Through the fall and the spring

I yearned to feel something

Sleepless nights in stranger's arms

Getting so close but my heart was so far away

And I was so naive

How I could ever let you go so carelessly

Running from the only truth I've ever known

I once was green, now I'm blue

Because a love like yours is overdue

Because a love like yours

Plays over and over in my head

Like a melody I can't forget

Over and over and over and over again

And I was so naive

How could I ever let you go so carelessly

Running from the only truth I've ever known

I once was green, now I'm blue

Because a love like yours is overdue
