Lyrics

[00:08.80] Larkspur And Lazarus
[00:09.93]
[00:11.02] The empty streets
[00:14.88] The songs of twilight
[00:19.23] The clouds at rest
[00:23.32] The churchbells chiming
[00:27.32] A scarecrow shudders
[00:30.80] And some birds tremble
[00:34.63] I looked at you and saw it's time
[00:41.66]
[00:44.65] The faded flowers
[00:50.56] The faded pictures
[00:54.43] Of faded lives
[00:58.55] Your body waiting
[01:02.64] And unfulfilled
[01:06.18] With no regrets
[01:11.09] And empty heart
[01:14.02] And head in hands
[01:17.69] I heard them say today it's time
[01:28.37]
[01:29.84] The sunset heavy
[01:33.69] On mother mountain
[01:37.50] The cattle lowing
[01:41.39] The cattle dreaming
[01:45.21] The endless rain
[01:49.26] In haunted airs
[01:52.98] Your loss of hope
[01:59.94] We were shown
[02:02.46] We were shown it's only time
[02:08.03]
[02:12.20] The smell of rain
[02:15.61] The twilight leaning
[02:20.05] Against your lips
[02:23.86] Waterwheels turning
[02:27.85] The forests brooding
[02:31.23] You took my hand
[02:35.58] And pointed full of pain
[02:39.50] That fishes dying
[02:43.16] You see the sign that this was time
[02:49.85]
[02:55.10] I waited years for you
[02:58.76] Or so it seemed
[03:02.44] And stumbled through your world
[03:06.79] Praying for just one kiss
[03:10.68] To stop my fall from grace
[03:14.10] And shelter in your palm
[03:18.55] You gave me everything
[03:21.95] Both lock and key
[03:25.51] The oilclouds see it's only time
[03:31.79]
[03:37.57] If I could have one wish
[03:41.03] As in the fairytales
[03:45.60] I would unmake my past
[03:49.07] And rise like Lazarus
[03:53.10] And stand in sunlight
[03:56.69] And banish all the dark
[04:00.68] That locked my face away
[04:04.73] And say to you again
[04:08.10] Oh that
[04:10.96] That was only time
[04:13.59]
[04:20.83] So willow weep not for me
[04:23.96] And oak bend not for me
[04:28.09] Though others died for us
[04:32.28] And in our place
[04:36.15] Though in the secret heart
[04:39.72] Raw wound, raw source of all
[04:44.00] I heard the news today
[04:47.35] Whispered in the dark
[04:50.94] At last
[04:53.41] At last we know it's time
[04:58.88]
[05:11.66] I knew at last it's only time
[05:19.66] I'll come in glory
[05:22.25]
[05:27.83] End of story
[05:36.53]
[05:37.36]
