Comes A 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.
Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says: Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
only love can fill
Been walking all morning went walking all night
I can't see much difference between the dark and light
And I feel the wind And I taste the rain
Never in my mind to cause so much pain
Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says: Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
Only love can fill
From day to day just letting it ride
You get so far away from how it feels inside
You can't let go cause you're afraid to fall
But the day may come when you can't feel at all
The words come out like an angry stream
You hear yourself say things you could never mean
When you cool down you find your mind
You got a lot of words you've got to stand behind
Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says: Don't you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe
Don't give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill
Only love can fill, only love can fill, only love can fill
