Time is a wishing well
Full of empty promise
Our dreams turn cold
Soon we don’t dream at all
Then tomorrow’s gone
And when night begins to fall
We rage against the dawn
It reads like an empty page
Of a book with no moral
And the end is known
Ain’t no suspense at all
We come and then we go
It’s so far away
Time stretched out before us
The night brings the day
Time’s a moving train we can’t escape
Getting faster on by the day
And the choices we make we cannot change
We just carry on
It’s so far away
Time stretched out before us
The night brings the day
And on and on and on
We’re young and unafraid
And touched by the heavens
But as we look away…
Take me away from this troubled age
Or show me some peace from my childhood days
The doors to my mind are locked safe away
With memories of hope, pain and grief and shame
