These are the times
|
Tears fill the back of your eyes
|
These are the times
|
The birds migrate
|
Across the skies
|
|
These are the times
|
What hope you had you forget
|
These wicked times
|
You're bound to feel
|
All sanity is lost
|
|
In these times everyone needs love
|
In these times do you pray to God
|
In these times everyone needs comfort
|
And would welcome a hand to hold
|
Compassion is the fire
|
That burns the hurt
|
That pains the soul
|
And though my eyes are so polluted
|
By the sight of lost desires
|
I can see you standing by
|
|
This is my fear
|
That distance will come between us
|
And it could mean nothing
|
Nothing
|
To get from here to there
|
We own the world
|
And everything that's in it
|
Let our love shine
|
Like glistening raindrops
|
Resting on a rose
|
|
In these times celebrate our love
|
In these times let's be thankful of
|
All the days we can spend together
|
And I'm happy to hold your hand
|
Your passion is the food
|
That feeds the hunger in my heart
|
And now my eyes are clearly open
|
No more longing for the past
|
Now I have you in these times
|
|
In these times everyone needs love
|
In these times do you pray to God
|
In these times everyone needs comfort
|
And would welcome a hand to hold
|
Your passion is the fire
|
That burns the hurt
|
That pains the soul
|
And though my eyes are so polluted
|
By the sight of lost desires
|
Good to have you in these times
|
