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
