No Time Has Passed

How we gonna get there baby
No one's getting shot today
I was in the streets then darling
Running down the alleyway

I was gonna nurse that thing home
He was gonna shoot his friend
I was gonna step in baby
Never stepping in again

What if there was no one out there
What if it was me and him
I was holding two old buckets
Water filled them to the brim

He was just a drunken outlaw
I was just a stable hand
If I was gonna step in baby
I needed to be twice the man

Gunshots sound
Over hardened city ground
And when you come I call
Like no time has passed at all

And this town will never change
Home sweet home the brave
Where horses sleep in stalls
Like no time has passed at all

How we gonna get there baby
No one's getting shot today
I was in the streets then darling
You were in the alley way

I was gonna nurse that thing home
He was gonna shoot his friend
I was gonna step in baby
But I didn't want to condescend
