Liz Longley Overdue lyrics

It's been a year and a day
Since I fired the engine and sped away
Past the weeping willow where we carved our names
Past the open field where summer nights would fade into morning

Chorus:
I was so naive
How could you I ever let you go
So carelessly
Running from the only truth I've ever known
Well, I once was green, now I'm blue
'Cause a love like yours is overdue

Through the fall and the spring

I yearned to feel something
Sleepless nights in strangers' arms
Getting so close but my heart felt so far away

Chorus repeats

'Cause 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

Chorus repeats
