When Time Is Stolen - Lyrics by Joan Baez


Lyrics

The music stopped in my hand
Sadly smiled the band
Softly echoes your laughter riddled with tears
When time is stolen it flies
Lovers leave in disquise
Weariness hangs like a curtain
Heavy and old
Heavy and cold
It said to never look back
To shadows you left on the track
Gather your roses and run
The long way around
And if time should ever be right
My love
I'll come to you in the night
My love
But now there only is sorrow
Parting is near
Parting is here



Book: Shattered Sighs
