Friends in High Places
"A whole night,
Of talking in circles,
Searching for reasons to save us,
And keep it all painless.
All the lies you've had to swallow
Just to face the World tomorrow.
Blowing bubbles it's the final straw,
They never last too long but for a moment,
There's perfection floating through an open door,
But if you try to hold it then it turns to nothing.
Your whole world,
Can turn on a moment,
Some things can come back and haunt you,
But they're too late to warn you.
Drinking in the dead of night,
Tobacco clouds that sting your eyes,<
Of talking in circles,
Searching for reasons to save us,
And keep it all painless.
All the lies you've had to swallow
Just to face the World tomorrow.
Blowing bubbles it's the final straw,
They never last too long but for a moment,
There's perfection floating through an open door,
But if you try to hold it then it turns to nothing.
Your whole world,
Can turn on a moment,
Some things can come back and haunt you,
But they're too late to warn you.
Drinking in the dead of night,
Tobacco clouds that sting your eyes,<
Who Knows Where The Time Goes
Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
