peter hammill - time to burn [the peel sessions] lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
time to burn, we could talk all the problems through….
are the promises still unbroken
do the spoken words still ring true?
oh, and where are you?

[verse 2]
time to burn, wakes and weddings, celestial choirs
and while one hand shakes on the bargain
see the other stoke the suttee pyre;
so we’re all on fire
burning for tomorrow
[verse 3]
so much time wish+ and hoping
soon the future will come
with a bridal wreath for the wedding
in the hands of the prodigal son
so much left undone
hеre we are with timе to burn

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
so much time wishful thinking
all the whitest of lies
with the prodigal caught at the border
and the order of service awry
no time for goodbyes
will we ever start to learn?

[verse 5]
time to burn, wakes and weddings become confused
all the faces over+familiar
in the whirlwind of deja+vu…
oh, but where are you?

[verse 6]
time to burn, all our lifelines are gathered round
with a speech from the back of a postcard
all the memories free in one bound
free, and gone to ground
free, and gone forever
free, and gone to ground
so i will remember
so much lost and found
here we are with time to burn
