Anthony Phillips - Master Of Time (demo 1972) lyrics

[From the cd of The Geese And The Ghost] See, the days grow long Winter comes upon us like a storm at sea And the will to live Seems a little thin sometimes When those you love are lost beneath the snowfall "Give and you will live" Said a man who lived in a funny way So we share our cup With the thirsty few of life Who leaves us on the highway without water Master of time Take me back through the years Master of time Let me try once again And I will give more Oh how I'll try And with this A new life I'll buy Hush! The marsh-duck cries Far away she knows that her love will be And she nestles down Sobbing still, she dries her eyes Knowing that the world will cry the rest out Where did beauty go? Seek it here, there but it's slipped away And when they come to lay me down I will take your memory too They'll know that in my final hour, I loved you Master of time Take me back through the years Master of time Let me try once again And I will give more Oh how I'll try And with this A new life I'll buy
