WHEN TIME IS STOLEN
|
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
|
|
The music stopped in my hand
|
my hand
|
my hand
|
Sadly smiled the band
|
the band
|
the band
|
Softly echoes your laughter
|
riddled with tears
|
When time is stolen it flies
|
it flies
|
it flies
|
Lovers leave in disguise
|
disguise
|
disguise
|
Weariness hangs like a curtain
|
heavy and old
|
heavy and cold.
|
|
It is said to never look back
|
look back
|
look back
|
To shadows you left on the track
|
the track
|
the track
|
Gather your roses and run
|
the long way around
|
And if time should ever be right
|
my love
|
my love
|
I'll come to you in the night
|
my love
|
my love
|
But now there is only the sorrow
|
parting is near
|
parting is here
|
parting is here
|
parting is here
|
