[Verse 1] Facilitate this fall of August The autumn winds, the summer forfeits The bittern's boom will disavow [Hook] All the time we've wasted now All the time we've wasted now All the time we've wasted [Verse 2] Fabricate this borderline Between the fire and the focus As the wren churr through the pine I doubt you will ever notice And I know I've got my stubborn ways The shovelers soon fly away While this winter moon will disavow [Chorus] All the time we've wasted now All the time we've wasted now All the time we've wasted [Verse 3] Formulate and fortify The spring becomes our alibi The eider's plume will disavow All the time we've wasted now And I know you've got your subtle ways The hooded crow is here to stay But this idle June will disavow All the time we've wasted now
