From the 1996 sessions · Reconstructed 2026 · A Bottle And A Suitcase

You're a sweet thing
You're a sweet thing
But your hair's a mess
You're a sweet thing
You're a sweet thing
But you've torn your dress

Time will be on your side
Although it may be slow

Everybody that you see
Seems to have it all
But the river's deep and the sky's so wide
And ya feel so small

But time will be on your side
Although it may be slow
Then you'll know
Then you'll know
Then you'll know

You're a sweet thing
You're a sweet thing
You're a sweet thing
You're a sweet thing

And time will be on your side
Although it may be slow

Time will be on your side
Whichever way you go
Then you'll know
Then you'll know
Then you'll know

And time heals everything
With just a mile to go

About this song.

Gentle reassurance with unease underneath it. Patience, time and distance make it a quiet reset after the covers, while its road imagery echoes New Pine Overcoat.
