Lyrics

[00:17.920] The empty streets
[00:21.780] The songs of twilight
[00:26.130] The clouds at rest
[00:30.220] The churchbells chiming
[00:34.220] A scarecrow shudders
[00:37.700] And some birds tremble
[00:41.530] I looked at you and saw it's time
[00:48.560]
[00:51.550] The faded flowers
[00:57.460] The faded pictures
[01:01.330] Of faded lives
[01:05.450] Your body waiting
[01:09.540] And unfulfilled
[01:13.080] With no regrets
[01:17.990] And empty heart
[01:20.620] And head in hands
[01:23.690] I heard them say today it's time
[01:34.370]
[01:35.840] The sunset heavy
[01:39.690] On mother mountain
[01:43.500] The cattle lowing
[01:47.390] The cattle dreaming
[01:51.210] The endless rain
[01:55.260] In haunted airs
[01:57.780] Your loss of hope
[02:03.240] We were shown
[02:05.160] it's only time
[02:10.730]
[02:14.900] The smell of rain
[02:18.310] The twilight leaning
[02:22.750] Against your lips
[02:26.560] Waterwheels turning
[02:30.550] The forests brooding
[02:32.130] You took my hand
[02:36.180] And pointed full of pain
[02:40.100] That fishes dying
[02:43.760] You see the sign that this was time
[02:50.450]
[02:55.700] I waited years for you
[02:59.360] Or so it seemed
[03:03.040] And stumbled through your world
[03:07.390] Praying for just one kiss
[03:11.280] To stop my fall from grace
[03:14.700] And shelter in your palm
[03:19.150] You gave me everything
[03:22.550] Both lock and key
[03:28.210] The oilclouds see it's only time
[03:34.490]
[03:47.270] If I could have one wish
[03:50.730] As in the fairytales
[03:55.300] I would unmake my past
[03:58.770] And rise like Lazarus
[04:02.800] And stand in sunlight
[04:06.390] And banish all the dark
[04:10.380] That locked my face away
[04:14.430] And say to you again
[04:17.800] Oh that
[04:20.660] That was only time
[04:31.360] I knew at last it's only time
[04:37.360] I'll come in glory
[04:47.530] End of story
