Time is a wishing well Full of empty promise Our dreams turn cold Soon we don't dream at all Then tomorrow's gone And when night begins to fall We rage against the dawn It reads like an empty page Of a book with no moral And the end is known Ain't no suspense at all We come and then we go It's so far away Time stretched out before us
The night brings the day Time's a moving train we can't escape Getting faster on by the day And the choices we make we cannot change We just carry on It's so far away Time stretched out before us The night brings the day And on and on and on We're young and unafraid And touched by the heavens But as we look away… Take me away from this troubled age Or show me some peace from my childhood days The doors to my mind are locked safe away With memories of hope, pain and grief and shame
