about

One of the earliest songs on the CD, and the first recorded. This was recorded originally for a local compilation album of "folk" musicians, collectively known as the "Floating Folk Festival". This song was on that compilation, then snagged for our first CD here as well.

This song was written by Craig pre-Monday Week, probably around 1981 or so, and addresses a common theme in early relationships - how much do you say early on and how much is too much? This one is an obvious nod to Roy Orbison.

lyrics

Until The Time Is Right
© 1998 Craig Evans, BMI. All Rights Reserved

There are some things I can't tell you
Until the time is right
For sometimes all the promises
I make to you tonight
Won't seem as real tomorrow
When the sunshine makes you doubt
So for now I'll keep my secrets
Until the time is right

There are some things I should say to you
But I think you know
So for now I'll keep on waiting
And try to take it slow
I know what I'm feeling
I can see through the candlelight
But I'll keep my heart a secret
Until the time is right

Ask me tomorrow
My secrets can wait
If you knew what I'm thinking of
You'd know why it can never be too late
It's better not to rush things
In the passion fog of night
So I'll keep my heart a secret
Until the time is right
