Not Yet Lyrics - The Veils

Mama, when she'd ride that horse 

Buried out in Wilson fields 

Mama'd tell me all she thought 

Mama'd tell me all how riding feels 

And I thought 

Not yet 

Then when mama got too old 

No one ever rode that horse 

Until one night I stole her key 

And I did ride it all night 'till dawn 

When I thought 

Not yet 

It looks an ugly world out there 

Of girl-guides and disease and war 

I love my little velvet bed 

I never want to leave it anymore 

At least 

Not yet 

Charlie was the first I caught 

And Charlie was the first I begged 

To lay an anchor in my heart 

He was running his fingers down the inside of my legs 

When I thought 

Not yet 

All my fears will come to me in dreams 

Maybe the end ain't as far as it seems 

Not yet revived but not yet mourned 

Not quite denied just not yet born
