Song #14 In God's Time

Ok. Here come the apologies. The last two songs and this one were done very rushed and so they are not as good as I would like. For some reason I thought the month ended on Monday, so I agreed to go out to my Father-In-Law's place to hang out, thinking I would have time on Monday to wrap the ideas up. My wife informed me that, oops, Sunday was the 29th. Doh. So I rushed through the 3 songs, writing quick lyrics down while my wife drove out to Dassel, where her dad lives. I slapped some guitar tracks down on my laptop while I was out there in about an hour and just finished cramming some vocals on here. In other words, I apologize.
This is my answer to the "End" challenge. Because I was so rushed, this came out as a song I always promised myself I would never write - a sappy manipulative drivel breakup kinda song. It's actually about 2 things: My band breaking up and me quitting my job. (I haven't officialy quit, but they know I'm intending it, which is why the last couple weeks have really been stressfull and difficult to write some nights.. etc...)
Anyway, forgive the rushed fingerpicking and the nasty vocal pitch problems.. It's no way to end FAWM, considering some of the stuff I've cranked out. Maybe I'll write something less sappy and post it in a day or two as an addendum.
In God's Time
We said all there was to say
Empty silence in the air
I had to go my own way
Don’t know if you’ll be there
It hurt as much to say
As much as it to hear
But nothing would bring me back
for another year
So you’ll go yours
I’ll go mine
We’ll see each round
All in God’s time
It’s hard to know when to stay
Or when to move apart
Sometimes you have to hear your head
And close off your heart

the riff on this one is really sweet. the "hear your head / close off your heart" line is on target, too. i actually think this is a pretty sweet way to wrap up FAWM, eric. good job.
