LIFETIME

Lyrics: Ian McLeish
Music: Ian McLeish & James H. Robinson
 
 

1.
Yesterday's done, soft setting sun -
Tomorrow arrives, pale moonset dies;
Leaves whip away, wind laughs aloud -
Trees standing bare, snow makes no sound;
Night time's for you - are you for the night?
Snow-darkened nights blinding - I could be your sight;
I'm high on a hill, and I wait for a sign -
We've nothing to lose and a lifetime
To find...

2.
Yesterday's done, he's your yesterday -
Tomorrow arrives, I'm here - come my way;
Feelings whip away, love laughs aloud -
People stand bare, hearts makes no sound;
Night time's for laughing, is laughing for you?
Love-lightened nights listen, will you listen too?
I'm down in a valley, and I wait for your words -
As they fly, ever changing, to me -
Have you heard?
