This song explores past relationships and how, despite some regrets, it is best to  move on with life rather than try to relive the past .

Test Of Time

Copyright Derek Greenacre and Louise Matthews  November 2003

1) I used to know you way back when

But then I used to care

Another time another place,

Don't want to go back there

perhaps if things were different

And time could change its mind

And had we both not been so young

Love might have been less kind

Chorus

Lose your binds leave ghosts behind

We failed the test of time

2) Now a stranger, no more a friend,

It's over for this girl

Need someone I really trust

Go back to your own world

Forgiving you is easy

Forgetting is still hard

Past still haunts the present day

Leaves the future charred

3) Winds of time blow through the past

It's over like our dreams

Can't come back in  different times

Can't start again it seems.

Still you dream of shadows, but

Maybe you'll be fine

Lives we shared are over now

Run the course of time
