The empty streets The songs of twilight The clouds at rest The churchbells chiming A scarecrow shudders And some birds tremble I looked at you and saw it's time
The faded flowers The faded pictures Of faded lives Your body waiting And unfulfilled With no regrets And empty heart And head in hands I heard them say today it's time
The sunset heavy On mother mountain The cattle lowing The cattle dreaming The endless rain In haunted airs Your loss of hope We were shown We were shown it's only time
The smell of rain The twilight leaning Against your lips Waterwheels turning The forests brooding You took my hand And pointed full of pain That fishes dying You see the sign that this was time
I waited years for you Or so it seemed And stumbled through your world Praying for just one kiss To stop my fall from grace And shelter in your palm You gave me everything Both lock and key The oilclouds see it's only time
If I could have one wish As in the fairytales I would unmake my past And rise like Lazarus And stand in sunlight And banish all the dark That locked my face away And say to you again Oh that That was only time
So willow weep not for me And oak bend not for me Though others died for us And in our place Though in the secret heart Raw wound, raw source of all I heard the news today Whispered in the dark At last At last we know it's time
I knew at last it's only time I'll come in glory
