The Time That Never Was

from Delayed Pursuit by Jessi Robertson

/

lyrics

On Sundays I'd put my feet up and listen to the radio.
The hours flowed like honey, running sweet and slow.
I daydream of those long afternoons, daffodils in bloom, drowzy bees abuzz.
Take me back to a simpler time, the time that never was.

On summer days I'd buy a paperback and read outside all day.
It smelled of sunscreen and nectarines, bodies baking like clay.
I daydream of those sunsets I could drink, one sip at a time until my head's abuzz.
Take me back to a simpler time, the time that never was.

On winter nights I'd wear a frilly dress under my fuzziest coat.
If my heels weren't clicking on concrete I'd think I was afloat.
I daydream of steam rising from grates, the distant thump of bass, neon lights abuzz.
Take me back to a simpler time, the time that never was.
