It was kind of like springtime when they first met Shaken and stirred and surprised I guess She was already thinking she needed to stray 'It's not easy to know what happens' he was to say. Here comes time and we're light as a feather Blown away on a breeze like a long lost treasure The Autumn turned to deep midwinter There were others involved and she felt the ground beneath her tremble a little but she held on tight He went away for a moment and then for a night Here comes time and we're light as a feather Blown away on a breeze like a long lost treasure The years passed and nothing in the stars Could foretell nights alone the nights in bars with others whose faces glowed like great suns There was marriage and heartbreaks and other things done They needed each other but were lost and confused Their partners were silent and felt refused and saw nothing but betrayal and a kind of meanness In their double dealing distance in their nearness Here comes time and we're light as a feather Blown away on a breeze like a long lost treasure But nothing's so easy you can put your finger on it And they tried loving some others and made it A story to be told of how some things get missed When all you see is the one true love you kissed In a day or a night when the lights were low And you were too young to care or too old to know Here comes time and we're light as a feather Blown away on a breeze like a long lost treasure The old man walks to the top of the hill He looks at the rivers and he looks for her still But she's gone far away and never stopped roaming She's the light of the twilight and evening's gloaming She's got contacts and lovers and people she likes And others she hates and some times she fights To remember the times but that was long long ago And her feelings were different then and there's nothing left to show save one dark night in the winter snow She felt lost with her friends and lovers and all she knows Here comes time and we're light as a feather Blown away on a breeze like a long lost treasure so she walked out and sat on an old park bench and looked at a church that loomed up in the distance and remembered a time when she once loved a fool it was long long ago and memories are cruel. Here comes time and we're light as a feather Blown away on a breeze like a long lost treasure She sat sometime later and someone asked her her feelings the party was lit up and full of meanings 'It's nothing' she said as she took up her drink It's just some foolish time and not what you think Cock robin he's sitting on the bough of a tree And it's wintertime and there's nothing to see Here comes time and we're light as a feather Blown away on a breeze like a long lost treasure well well well Say nothing say nothing keep your head down There are wheels turning laughter and frowns rooms can be hot can be cold some days feel bought others sold is there a way out or no way back Some people are far too matter of fact Raise me up raise my hand and pray Raise me a pair raise me from where we lay It's cold I'm cold like heartbreak comes out the world's got old everything's spinning about there's a table and the waitress is alone the daylight's strong the dogs got his bone the lorry's reversing the workman's digging the post she's got all things she's bringing doors are opening then closing down some people are tired all headaches and frowns awwww Raise me up raise my hand and pray Raise me a pair raise me from where we lay It's cold I'm cold like heartbreak comes out the world's got old everything's spinning about I went to a poet with a sidewise look drank tea and fennel read a book there were signs there in the tea leaves there were mysteries blowing through the trees heading home it feels the world just ends the poem lingers on like his life depends Raise me up raise my hand and pray Raise me a pair raise me from where we lay It's cold I'm cold like heartbreak comes out the world's got old everything's spinning about there's a storm coming from overhead and the party's going to be in disarray some of them are living like they'll never be dead others are wondering whether they'll even make yesterday There's money and a sense of confusion in the eyes of the women and the men But always there's one who seems to be refusing the way the deal goes down wants to begin again It's like an upper room where love got lost where already the couples were counting the cost the drinks are hard and the fall is staggering the words are broke and everything's shattering The band is playing and the dance goes on the girls and boys all dancing and thinking they'd better keep in tune to the song but the storm has come and the world's sinking but the ones upstairs know that something's going wrong not the tears or the stories of the beautiful one not the rain thats battering down from the skies not even the tales told and the lies It's like an upper room where love got lost where already the couples were counting the cost the drinks are hard and the fall is staggering the words are broke and everything's shattering Down in the basement the old man he's praying for forgiveness and hope but who's really listening time went on and he's stood like he's laying everything's wrong way up like death's wriggling and the daughters come and then the sons they kiss and make up and then fear comes Fear like an angel with fire and a sword they see everything ruined like a missing chord It's like an upper room where love got lost where already the couples were counting the cost the drinks are hard and the fall is staggering the words are broke and everything's shattering so there's a storm now its overhead and the party's gone in disarray all of them living like they'll never be dead all of them wondering what happened yesterday There's money still that sense of confusion in the eyes of the women and the men But still she's there who's still refusing the way the deal went down wants to begin again It's like an upper room where love got lost where already the couples were counting the cost the drinks are hard and the fall is staggering the words are broke and everything's shattering well his words were sharp and dazzling and his youth was strong his life rattling and she was coming from a far away place with desire and a mind and a sphinx like face there were times she loved and other times she strayed some lovers she let live others she slayed this was a tumbling and a rumbling a time of love and loss a time where everyone was stumbling a time no one counted the cost There were parties and trips to far away places there were nights in the rooms and strangers faces kisses and twilights and lovers galore and suitors with stories and others were bores But the world it was spinning and didn't look back as the candle was burning she was changing tack this was a tumbling and a rumbling a time of love and loss a time where everyone was stumbling a time no one counted the cost tired of the knowing and the sense of doom she held on to nothing and the boys room and the girls she loved were also there she held on tightly and told herself she cared for the way of the world and its strange lying ways the cities of the night and the deals and the ways so she looked away from the strangeness she looked away from its dangers this was a tumbling and a rumbling a time of love and loss a time where everyone was stumbling a time no one counted the cost There was another who always loved her he was impossible but true kissed her once in the moonlight and her furs saw into her longing and everything she knew but the riddle was a hard thing like a puzzle and a ring some lives are straighter others with no reason or rhyming this was a tumbling and a rumbling a time of love and loss a time where everyone was stumbling a time no one counted the cost there was trouble at the mill money gone missing and thieves the blame was there out to kill the crime a mystery no one believed Stories of fortune and stories of loss you never have enough and you never know the cost of time and its turnings its promises and warnings here come the police and the detectives and later there was a sort of grief the body was taken and changed perspectives everyone lied and his truths were disbelieved years came and went the future gone in prison he sat and then was released the rain was falling knew the sentence was wrong he walked out alone like a slaughtered beast she had married by then and lived somewhere else his fortune was gone and he felt he'd been cursed Stories of fortune and stories of loss you never have enough and you never know the cost of time and its turnings its promises and warnings he managed somehow to find a job in a bar he lived all alone in a room by the station one day he was walking under the night and its stars others on the street were a kind of evasion his solitude walked with him ironic and cruel and he stumbled and fell like a dying mule his load was too heavy his heart was too sad he had loved the only woman he had ever had Stories of fortune and stories of loss you never have enough and you never know the cost of time and its turnings its promises and warnings he was rich and a man of substance he was weighing things up and keeping balance the others were watching his every move he was smiling like a crocodile was real smooth his diamond watch and his suit and rings flashed like the eyes of impossible things oh when will the ships come in from the sea bringing vengeance and glory where love will arise when will the fortune be turned and uprooted when will all this be done and concluded? the barmaid was pretty she had a boy and a lover she was working long hours and cared for her mother earned less a year than the guy in a an hour there was lust and blood and danger and power but he didn't care about her troubles and strife he was making the moves had sons and a wife the jokes were crude and his promises vain said he'd pay her good money you know what I'm saying she needed the money her life was not easy she laughed at his quips but she felt uneasy oh when will the ships come in from the sea bringing vengeance and glory where love will arise when will the fortune be turned and uprooted when will all this be done and concluded? the night kept on rolling the drinks and the drugs the talk was dissembling and this was never about love he touched her one time as she served him his drink he laughed as she shuddered didn't care what she'd think the party was raging the crowds all were one they were asking for more and it was going along he told her to come later and visit his room threw down his money like a curse and her doom she didn't like the sound of his tone in his voice she said she was busy and she said it real nice but later he ordered a drink to his bed she came to his door and felt nothing but dread he stood in the doorway like a giant of ice she put the drink on his table with the bucket of ice but his arms were too strong and his skull on fire she was trapped in his grip his lust and desire he drove the next morning in his car of gold the smile on his face was evil and cold his family and friends know he's a great man with his charities and riches and acumen whilst she washes the dishes a whole different level dies every minute as she recalls how the devil laughed at her life and the things she had done left her bleeding and bruised and no longer young the world is a place where all horrors and lies are for rich men the games of their murderous lives oh when will the ships come in from the sea bringing vengeance and glory where love will arise when will the fortune be turned and uprooted when will all this be done and concluded?
