YOUR TIME IS NEAR

Well it took a long time But you'd finally worn out your smile That's when I knew it - I'd run out of borrowed time You always used to say That you can learn a lot from wasting time And that if you look hard - You'll see yourself in your lover's eyes Your time is near it won't be long You've got to go when you're called upon No light of day No sign of dawn But don't turn around just walk right on You came riding into town In a black and red five-and-ten Said“I'll be your captain... And take you back home again” Well it's the third time around And you know I'll got a second wind But if we ever get there... There'll be no-one there to let us in Your time is near it won't be long You've got to go when you're called upon You caught me dancing in the street last night You walked right past me Into the light I packed up my souvenirs, Tied my shoes and sold my car Guess I should've known it - I'd never get very far Ever since we met, You've been a hungry and a restless child You're just like your father - You know he's got a poisoned mind Your time is near it won't be long You've got to go when you're called upon You said“You and me... We never will pretend” But a broken soul is never gonna mend
