Anthony Phillips - My Time Has Come lyrics

Dust drew down the desert night Stallions kick and moan. All along the ridge the stormy light Assailing the fortresses of stone Father Eli took his watch His keen eyes fixed right into the sky. Daybreak found his chair was rocking still No message could anyone find Yena had a secret dream, To touch the stuccoed stars. From the deep of snow-enchanted woods, He called them from afar Hunters by the Deadman's Spit All struck dumb, the forest crowned in flame The dragon rose into the burning air Then everything lay still again – and so it's Oh, my time has come, I never hoped for something quite like this Shadows in the creeping mist The dark beams circled close, Baronesses played a hand of whist Unseeing, the monolithic host Meters racing, dials jammed, The heat sears, the metals twists and tears They're all out on Pan Am 109 The giants melted into thin air...oh hear me Oh, my time has come, I never hoped for something quite like this. Oh, I wait in the night I'd packed my bags by ten past six Subscriptions paid and sent Through the fields to the landing strip I'll always wonder what you meant Diamonds dancing, mountains shake Wind bellows, the valley struck with gold, With my photo of the Prince of Wales, I might not get back till you're old – and hear it Oh, my time has come, I never hoped for something quite like this.
