Peter Hammill - Time Heals
[Intro]
Thinking back, it seems that I
Can lie beside you as I never truly did
In afterglow -
No afterwords at all
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead;
Only paying words out in strings of half-forgotten sentiments...
I mean...
I meant...
I never really quite could say the way it was
[Verse 1]
The first time that we met I said, "I bet that she's the one"
But I was talking to myself then, as always
As time went by our steps entwined, unwritten lines drew taut
And I tried to find a way to make it all safe...
Into the play - what a production! -
Into the days and ever more suction:
You hold me close, hold me farther
Away from yourself - I make me a martyr
For pain and love go hand in hand...
And hand in hand go you and my friend
You are his and I am yours and just cannot evade you;
My days a dream, my nights unseemly
Stolen moments all I live for
But theft is no way to persuade you
To come with me, leave him behind you;
My hurtful eyes try to remind you
It's all I can do to keep from screaming
"I love you, I love you!" - I wish I was dreaming
But the steps we take all leave footprints...
[Bridge]
Sooner or later the whole thing will be blown:
You will leave him or I'll be left here, alone
Either way someone loses someone
But I won't mind that, I just would quite like to know
Who we love the most -
Well, I guess that's ourselves
[Verse 2]
The days are strange, at night we're strangers
Lie in bed and lie inside our heads
We come no closer than as dancers
Your eyes are change, your presence danger
Won't look me in the face and yet
You kiss and make up the answer
To all the questions that fly unanswered, unreasoned -
Death in the sky, death in the season
If you leave me now, it might nearly kill me...
Remember me?
Remember we three?
[Pre-Chorus]
It all seemed so important at the time
We came so close to wrecking all our lives
And now it's all just song lines
[Chorus]
Oh, time heals
Oh, time heals
Oh, time heals -
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, but I still bear the weals
Oh, but I still bear the weals
Oh, but, oh but I still bear the weals
[Outro]
Thinking back, it seems that I
Can lie beside you as I never truly did
In afterglow -
No afterwords at all
But I'm only writing love songs when it's gone and dead
And I'm only paying words out: streams of half-forgotten sentiments...
I mean...
Oh, no, no, I meant...
I never really quite could say the way it was
Thinking back, it seems that I
Can lie beside you as I never truly did
In afterglow -
No afterwords at all
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead;
Only paying words out in strings of half-forgotten sentiments...
I mean...
I meant...
I never really quite could say the way it was
[Verse 1]
