Just A Moment (In The Time of The Season)

Sunday, May 12th, 2002

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 so how did it go this season
how was the season for you
all of those hopes and euphoria
what were the things that came through?

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 did you go higher and higher?
or was it a case of exist
all of those moments wasted and gone
all of those chances you missed

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 or did you dive down to the depths of it all
down to the end of the line
was it down to the wire in the thick of the fire
did it pass like a moment in time?

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 and what were the lessons of learning
when was the moment you knew
when did the dream for your own little team
turn into a nightmare for you?

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 and what was the greatest of moments
was it Beckham’s free kick against Greece?
i was there in a bar on a sweet Greek isle
you could float on the air of release

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 was it Zola’s back-flick against Norwich
or Arsenal’s great night at Man U
or was it that cool celebration
the way only Cameroon do?

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 but everything’s only a moment
what was it Brian Clough said ?
“it takes just a second to score a goal”
the next one’s the ball’s in the net

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 a moment and seasons are over
a moment and all of it gone
no time for why-or how it flew by
but moments like these they go on

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 and all of it just in a moment
it never makes sense but it’s true
and time just stands still in those moments
so how did they happen for you?
