Time Is A Lion - Joe Henry

If you fear the angels above while you sleep

Then I’ll be the blood, you paint on your door

Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep

But time is a story and there will be more

Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep

But time is a story and there will be more

And death and disgrace can seduce anyone

Who needs to believe there’s judgment at hand

God may be kind and see you like a son

But time is a lion when you are a lamb

God may be kind and see you like a son

But time is a lion when you are a lamb

The years see the best of intentions and greed

They come without shame, they’ll leave you with some

Men become old when their hurt becomes need

But time is a lover and your time is young

Men become old when their hurt becomes need

But time is a lover and your time is young

The sun is a soldier, out crawling the hill

Setting fire to every house that’s in view

Lighting the ruin of my hope and my will

Till I’m like a shadow and I’m falling on you

Crawling on you

Oh you know how I do…

So sleep here with me and I’ll keep you close

For now while i try to live up to you

You can’t see the challenge of this, I suppose

But time is a dare and I’m trying to

You can’t see the challenge of this, I suppose

But time is a dare and I’m trying to

But time is a dare and I’m trying to (3x)
