When The Time Comes
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.
When the time comes, put my feet in the water
It's not as warm as I expect
Will I go down like a preacher's son?
Or will I come back up like a world war vet?
Will I watch my brothers die?
Or speak true words into their lives?
Will I hold them close and tell them why
The life they lead was sacrifice?
I don't know much
But I know about love
And how it hurts me to give up
It hurts me to give up
When the time comes, put my hands on the table
They are examined for what they are
A long life line that's been cut short
By the road, the time, the battle scars
What I would give to be back home
Where the Sun sets over the water
Someone save me from these preacher's sons
Save me from their daughters
Still I don't know much
But I know about love
And how it hurts me to give up
It hurts me to give up
Why do we always say we're fine
When it's obvious we're lying?
Why don't we ever tell the truth?
What do we got to lose?
And I don't know much
But I know about love
And how it hurts me to give up
It hurts me to give up
And I don't know much
But I know about love
And how it hurts me to give up
It hurts me to give up
