lyrics

Time to Kill ©2020 by G. Polhemus

Blue sky glistening
Behind moistened eyes
The future is listening
To yesterday’s goodbyes
Living hour to hour
And day by day
Believing its now or never
For all there is to say

See I wouldn’t mind
If time were to stand still
As long as you are there
I’ve got some time to kill
Take all the time you need
As you liberate your soul
Should you choose to proceed
With that long ride back home

As your memory’s erased
And though your body may fail
You still recall the taste
Of your favorite ale
One day with a grandchild
And a favorite tune
That infectious smile
Gets us through the afternoon

No I wouldn’t mind
If time were to stand still
As long as you are there
I’ve got some time to kill
Take all the time you need
As you liberate your soul
If you choose to proceed
With that long ride back home

Life’s up and downs
Have carried you here
To the same old town
Where you were once the mayor
Now life’s never fair
at war and at peace
but you’ve see your share
of the famine and the feast

Now I wouldn’t mind
If time were to stand still
As long as you are there
I’ve got some time to kill
Take all the time you need
As you liberate your soul
When you choose to proceed
With that long ride back home
