Lyrics
what is time
if not the turning of your eyes
what is rhyme
if not the turning of your life
and one day i?ll find
it don?t turn so fast anymore
when everyone?s so kind
how cruel of me to ask for more
what is time
if not the gnawing of your teeth
what beside
the metal bowl beneath your bed
and then i?ll find
it don?t turn so fast anymore
when everyone?s so kind
how cruel of me to ask for more
what is time
if not the turning of your eyes
what beside
the turning of your life
and one day i?ll find
it don?t turn so fast anymore
when everyone?s so kind
how cruel of me to ask for more
than your simple delicate grace
it?s never enough
and i can?t bear to take
that paper glass look on your face
it?s never enough
and i can?t bear to take
their smiles are cruelty
