Taking time away from life A pleasant interlude Gripping at a hopeless dream Testing my gratitude Longing for a spoken word A sweet voice answers back One that never lies or brings A veil of pitch so black Time -? it Time -? it Time -? it Time -? it Edged away from stability Thoughts just forced inside Figuring just what I need To bring you to my side Reaching out into the night A lonely hand placed high Wondering if it still stands And I know the reasons why Time -? it Time - so sick Time -? it Time -? it Tension builds deep in my soul What is there but my dreams The fabric of my life unfolds It's splitting at the seams Losing all strength in my mind And dripping to my tears Holding on and looking up Fighting back all my fears Silence breaks as sounds cascade I hear just what I feel It places me in such a state I now know what is real Confidence is brought back up From the gutter where it lay It's here right now inside my head Because of what you say Take two dimes round and small And hold them in your hand Spend your dimes with love in mind Don't let them turn to sand My memories will just fade away My memories will just fade away Like watercolors in the rain
