Lyrics
11th Hour
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.
It feels like I knew Robert Blink
Even though he didn't know his name
He was so nearly over twenty-one
That he could never feel the same
Well, sometimes I wish that I could see
But it was you instead of me
At the eleventh hour [x2]
The trumpets of yesterday are blowing for here today
I only hope you can rest in peace
And cannot hear the tune they play
Because we're all tired of hearing that song
Though they try to make you sing along
At the eleventh hour [x2]
Don't you know you don't need this way?
Can't you see, don't you know you have to stay?
Well, sometimes I wish that I could see
But it was you instead of me
At the eleventh hour [x2]
If there's more than this, I'll write and let you know
If there's more than this from the seeds we sow
Well sometimes I wish that I could see
And maybe it will be
At the eleventh hour [x4]
Don't you know you don't need this way?
Can't you see, don't you know you have to stay?
From the seeds we sow [x4]
