Vii. Time, don't let me down
Time, don't let me down.
Time, don't let me down.
I will take us home
if you show me how
The winter wind
will pass on by
With a chill
that cuts us to the bone
And I know,
we'll make it through the storm
And our sun
will come back to us a soon.
So time, don't let me down!
My love, my love, my love,
are you still a child?
Would I know you
if I saw you here again?
And time,
well she draws the line
and she guards the aisle
And she swears that I
won't see you, til the end
And winter's cold
will burn and howl
til we've lost sight
of what our lives are all about.
I saw you in the gallows,
I saw you in the house.
I saw you in the shadow of
a love that I can't do without
So when will I be free?
When will I be free?
When will I be
Winter's wind
will pass on by
with a chill
that cuts us to the bone
