yeah · oh · yeah

There was times when being together was fun
And there was times when being apart was more fun
And there was times when there was nothing but time
And that was no fun

Well the man just let me out and I think it's Monday morning
There's a taste here in my mouth and it tastes like Monday morning
If I'm tasting my own mouth and if it's Monday morning
Well I should be doing fine if I can get you off my mind
And if it's Monday morning

Well my eyes are a little blurred for a Monday morning
You're leaving town, I've heard, if it's Monday morning
So goodbye is another word for a Monday morning
But I could be doing fine if I could get you off my mind
And if it's Monday morning

Won't someone help me quick? I'm down, I'm feeling sick
There's just too much of my head that is showing
God, if you won't help me, then help me help me
'Cause I'm not exactly sure where I'm going

Well I guess I should go home if it's Monday morning
cause our room is all alone, if its Monday morning
but i'll probably get stoned if its Monday morning
Then I'll think I'm doin' fine, but i'll  bet you're on my mind
Come next Monday morning

Well the man just let me out and I think it's Monday morning
There's a taste here in my mouth and it tastes like Monday morning

The empty streets
The songs of twilight
The clouds at rest
The churchbells chiming
A scarecrow shudders
And some birds tremble
I looked at you and saw it's time

The faded flowers
The faded pictures
Of faded lives
Your body waiting
And unfulfilled
With no regrets
And empty heart
And head in hands
I heard them say today it's time

The sunset heavy
On mother mountain
The cattle lowing
The cattle dreaming
The endless rain
In haunted airs
Your loss of hope
We were shown
We were shown it's only time

The smell of rain
The twilight leaning
Against your lips
Waterwheels turning
The forests brooding
You took my hand
And pointed full of pain
That fishes dying
You see the sign that this was time

I waited years for you
Or so it seemed
And stumbled through your world
Praying for just one kiss
To stop my fall from grace
And shelter in your palm
You gave me everything
Both lock and key
The oilclouds see it's only time

If I could have one wish
As in the fairytales
I would unmake my past
And rise like Lazarus
And stand in sunlight
And banish all the dark
That locked my face away
And say to you again
Oh that
That was only time

So willow weep not for me
And oak bend not for me
Though others died for us
And in our place
Though in the secret heart
Raw wound, raw source of all
I heard the news today
Whispered in the dark
At last
At last we know it's time

I knew at last it's only time
I'll come in glory

2. Soft Black Stars

Little children snuggle under soft black stars
And if you look into their eyes soft black stars
Deliver them from the book and the letter and the word
And let them read the silence bathed in soft black stars
Let them trace the raindrops under soft black stars
Let them follow whispers and scare away the night
Let them kiss the featherbreath of soft black stars
And let them ride their horses licked by the wind and the snow
And tip-toe into twilight where we all one day will go
Caressed with tendrils and with no fear at all
Their faces shining river gold washed with soft black stars
And angels' wings shall soothe their cares
And all the birds shall sing at dawn
Blessed and wet with joy
You and I will meet one day
Under a nightsky lit by soft black stars

i dont have to write anything, because its all been written here.
