lyrics

Its alright I'm here said the man with the long time ago eyes
It seems things have changed but that the way the lord enjoys spending time
What has passed to make your smile an empty line
Is it the sun that comes too strong on these barren winter lives?

Its alright the sun isn't coming down
Its just the atmosphere
It seems the time we had ran out
but I guess thats kind of clear

If I was that woman over there with the grey in her hair
I'd be asking all the young ones where the time had gone
Not to find an answer just to see if they say its gone to Hell
Cause though they are new here they're fresh from the spirit I still find it hard to tell

Its alright the sun isn't coming down
Its just the atmosphere
It seems the time we had ran out
but I guess thats kind of clear

No one ever told me that this was it
When I gladly took my first step on
I guess I would've read it in a pamphlet
But the time for revelation's gone
Hold my hand I can't stay here anymore
Its taking all I've got to be in front of you
I understand you just took what was yours
Did you ever stop to think of if it was?
Don't feel bad we all did it just the same
But now curled up shaking without hope
Just be glad that the world will stand for justice
And she'll decide real soon when we go home

Just go home...
