White Hot Day

In time only time speak for time in time
Time calls time cries, sweet friend of mine
Time could be a place
Spirit and a face
Take drops through time
While way below the whirlwinds will blow
A pretty nation sleeps in time
The beauty of it is
We're waking up to shake the hand of time
In time only time we'll speak for time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the years hold back the years
Time calls time cries, sounds like a friend of mine
Time will run to meet the slick and shiny beast
That creeps to me through time
While way below the whirlwinds will blow
A pretty nation sleeps in time
The beauty of it is
We're waking up to shake the hand of time
In time only time in time only time in time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears
In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears
In time only time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet, on a quiet night of a white hot day
Roll back the years roll back the years
In time only time we'll speak for time
On a quiet night
Hold back the tears to another day
Quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears
In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet, on a quiet night of a white hot day
We'll hold back the tears
In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears to another day
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things ...
