Once up in a bottle there lived Time And He had a garden where He met her by morning And there in the dawning They dreamed of a life where Time could leave His fine bottle And unfading travel with her to ask for Her father's blessing She was Eternity and He would fall behind Slowly and silently, she was losing Time Hold on you're getting somewhere You're gonna find the answers out there Hold on you're getting somewhere I know I'm right and you're gonna find out One day covered in twilight Time pa**ed by Surprised at what she was holding, smiling she told Him This seed is for your garden
We'll sow it together and only while we're out walking Rise and grow it will, Time stood still in her presence not pa**ing That day Eternity made a date with Time And she could almost see the reason and the rhyme Hold on you're getting somewhere You're gonna find the answers out there Hold on you're getting somewhere I know I'm right I know I'm right, just look at Time And once He had just a secret, a tree in a garden Bound to a bottle and now He scatters his seeds All over creation Each one a meeting place for the love of His life And Eternity she has Time She has Time
