The Waterboys - Higher In Time lyrics

The mountain is steep The ditches are deep The task in hand Is making us weep But here's a promise (i intend to keep / That i mean to keep) Seed it in your mind And say it each night Before you sleep: We will climb higher in time (och!) You've got a head full of trouble And a ship to build (you think you won't make it But you know you will You feel you need your Cup refilled Fill it out of mine We'll drop the defenses, Pool our sk** / Your heart you're hiding It's making you ill You feel like you want to have your Sporran refilled Well, fill it out of mine Let the soulful water Overspill) And we will climb higher in time I've been to the bottom I've been on the train I've slept in the gutter With my head in a drain I've been brutally proud I've been mortally shamed But this is not a crime I'm just learning, my friends, That it's all in the game And we will climb higher in time (och!) Climb higher in time Climb higher in time
