Steve Dawson - Sooner Than Expected Lyrics

Walking over a filthy river
Trucks and cars and busses pass
Rusted out industrial bridge
In the upper Midwest
The air is cold the sky is blue
I am alone I'm walking fast

I thought there was gonna be
A little more time
But here it comes
Sooner than expected
Sooner than expected

The sound and the pull of moving water
That's what I remember
That's where I go
Up to knees in my bare feet
I am alone

I thought there was gonna be
A little more time
But here it comes
Sooner than expected
Sooner than expected

I still get the stab
In center of my chest
When I remember your laughing face
Loss by loss year by year
Try to keep up
Try to keep pace

I thought there was gonna be
A little more time
But here it is
Sooner than expected
Sooner than expected
