"In The Meantime" was first recorded as a single at Sonic Sculpture in Nashville, Tennessee. It was then included on Riely and Molly B. Moon's 2009 album Who Knows When which you can purchase at cdbaby.

I shook my head and said yes that's what I would do
When you asked me to be patient and see this thing through
You did not yet feel you could let our real lovin' life begin
So in the meantime could we just be lovin' friends

Oh ya I'm fine but in my mind there's a slowly turning screw
Is your other one a lover or is he just friends too
An' though I'll likely fend off these demon thoughts 'n maybe win you in the end
In the meantime the passin' days might just do me in

In the meantime what's my heart to do
In this lean time while I wait for you
The one truth my heart and I now clearly see
Is just how mean time can be

How the twisted twine of our lifetime binds our unfolding fate
And what might have been lies tangled in what is, an' so I wait
While tomorrow holds sweet promises, it just don't seem to care
And in the meantime today gives its cold, blank stare
