Lyrics
TIME
Lyrics: John Cordova and Lou Carlozo
Morning stars like church bells ringing
Still small voice I hear it singing
"Don't forget me, won't you let me in?"
.Acting deaf though you're still knocking
But I search for something shocking
Running down and drowning in the din
[Chorus] "And you've got time" Oh? the devil tells me
You Got time
As he wraps his arms around me
You Got time
Oh? the devil tells me
Quicksand in the hourglass
Heaven knows I'm sinking fast
Every time I wish for heaven
I pray to roll a Lucky 7
Tempted 'til I'm too gone to remember
Still I feel the flame within me
But tell me what it is, I can't see
Refiner's fire or Satan's burning ember?
[Chorus] "You've got time" Oh? the devil tells me
You Got time
As he wraps his arms around me
You Got time
Oh? the devil tells me
Quicksand in the hourglass
Heaven knows I'm sinking fast
When the morning stars fade
And the singing is gone
And I struggle to recover my beautiful song
You whisper to me my mysterious fate:
"Time's running out, but it isn't too late."
