Time Lyrics

Time, time, time, time

I could have shown you a thousand days

So quiet, so still

I could have shown you the kitchen rain

Damp hair, throat strain

Dry and clear and ready to go

So quiet, so still,

But there’s a pigeon in my room,

I don’t show it, I can’t

It’s lost deep inside of me

I don’t like much

The many things I’d like to be…

Time, time, time, time

Wish I could order what I need

So quiet, so still

No one tears my eyes away

New hope, new seed

See it die on a pillow case

So quiet, so still

I always planned much more for me

I don’t show it, who does

It’s lost deep inside of my, my…

‘Can’t talk, can’t start

I want to reach you honestly

No time, move on,

Can’t keep my mind fixed on today 

So quiet, so still

And there is no other way,

I watch your lights 

And I wonder what I’d say

You feed my hope

Loving you wouldn’t be the same

I don’t show it, that much 

Just what I can’t force away

So much longing and less hope

Tell me I’m wrong,

What do you say?
