Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Nobody knows how long

Rustlin' leaves come round, I'm sorry

Lullaby breeze unsung

Babel of dreams unwinds in memory

[Verse 2]

As bad as bad becomes

It's not apart of you

And love is only sleeping

Wrapped in neglect

[Verse 3]

Time it's time to live

Time it's time to live for living

Time it's time to live

Now that it's all over

Time it's time to live

Time it's time to live for living

Now that it's over

Now that it's over

[Verse 4]

Kissing a grey garden

Shadow and shade, sunlight

Treads softly

[Verse 5]

As bad as bad becomes

It's not apart of you

Contempt is ever breeding

Trapped in itself

[Verse 6]

Time it's time to live

Time it's time to live for living

Time it's time to live

Now that it's all over

Time it's time to live

Time it's time to live for living

Now that it's over

Now that it's over

Now that it's over

[Verse 7]

As bad as bad becomes

It's not apart of you

The wicked and the weeping

Ramble or run

[Verse 8]

Time it's time to live

Time it's time to live for living

Time it's time to live

Now that it's all over

Time it's time to live

Time it's time to live for living

Time it's time to live

Now that it's all over

Now that it's over

Now that it's over

[Verse 9]

Now that it's over

[Verse 10]

Now that it's over

[Verse 11]

Rest your head
