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
