No Time Tonight - Diesel

They’re battening down the town tonight

Piling high to quell the might

That’s been sleeping on the carousel

That turns the water in the well

She’s woken up, with the early light

Across the strait the buoy’s bell’s chime

The radio warns them not to dwell

As the water turns, inside the well

No time, no time, to turn away

No time, no time to lose this day

It’s gonna blow a gale tonight

No time, no time tonight

Kyla see’s the wild wind bend

The Norfolk pines at the rivers end

A southern storm that broke the spell

That turned the water in her well

And the shoreline wastes

And the sea doth roar

We’re just specs of dust

On a dirty floor

They opened up the bottle top

And let the genie twist and hop

That swam beyond the autumn swell

That turned the water into hell

No time, this time, to find your faith

No time, this time, to lose your way

It’s gonna blow a gale tonight

No time, no time tonight
