Lyrics
The Day And The 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.
Who's to say that we always have to agree?
I think we both can take this one mistake
Like some kind of amnesty
Why to love and with such brutality?
We're compatible
Maybe a bit too much
That's our ambiguity
I've cried a thousand storms
I've blown away the clouds
The heartbeat of the sun is racing mine
And listen how
My heart is waiting
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
That shadows have turned to light
Well, we know
How ephemeral are things
Disillusion takes what illusion gives
What's the use of make believe?
The needles of the clock
Are moving right to left
Pretend we never heard the things we said
Like we've been deaf
And start all over
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
How shadows have turned to light
The heartbeat of the sun is racing mine
And listen how
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe that we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
And I can see now
That shadows have turned to light
The time
