It was a hell of a climb
and I swear that I searched everywhere but I'm damned if I could find
your promise ring
Like a candle in the window
I was waiting till the cold winds blow

I did ten years for my crime.
So tonight I think I'll just take my time... for tonight I sing of big and better things.
I best sing before the lights go out.
Time.
Sing before the lights go out.
Time.

I share no secrets. I know you won't keep them anyway.
Hate kills time and time kills haters
They look good but I feel greater hey.
No way
Time...
