Lyrics
Father Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Open up your locket does solidarity breed from a good foundation?
Things speed out of date now you can be falling and when your up it's blown up with all new buildings painted they're not your
Colors and all the places you went to you don't get what they offer and hey that's nathan but didn't he pass a long time ago?
Where'd he go?
We exorcised the weekend now all the demons cant play but they snuck into thursday
Looking out for panthers from the road again but didn't they pass a long time ago?
Luck it's not real.oh it's real. no its not real
Maybe it's only real when lightning landed and hit you right where you were standing
Or when your imagination shows you what only time is supposed to tell you
Then i imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger plans
From a long time ago
And did i remember suitcase and all the things in my head and all the expectations of doing something special
I could be gone today
But where do they take me?
Luck it's not real though my feelings say its real
Maybe it's only real when someone blinds you when they had always been so kind to you
Imagination won't get moldy can't wait for time to unfold me
Then i imagine time he's got real big hands and bigger plans
From a long time ago
There are none too small
