[Intro]
I stood still and time did not
He fell in love with another
And I stood at a distance and said nothing
'Cause I still wanted to be loved, to be loved and loved
[Chorus]
I stood still, but time did not
I saw the hill and he climbed up
Dancing at the peak, at the top
'Cause I stood still and time did not
He fell in love with another
And I stood at a distance and said nothing
'Cause I still wanted to be loved, and to be loved and loved
Sweet turtle dove
These are the bones I would've chosen
They're the ones I was given and I will gladly hold them
Now I hope that you would have learned
These are things that we are burdened with
So we'll try a little harder
Caught on you, I was so afraid
Caught on you, I was so afraid
Of a bitter heart, a brittle life
A better half I left behind, I let go of
[Chorus]
I stood still and time did not
I saw the hill and he climbed up
Dancing at the peak, at the top
'Cause I stood still and time did not
I stood still and time did not
