lyrics

Father Of Time

That father of time
he's a wicked boy
he can take your family and joy
and send it down that memory lane
and he won't come back when you call his name
but father of time
has got to deal
with what he's trying to steal
from mother of nature's blessed field
the battle out there's begun.

(chorus)
We can't walk away
We can't talk away
We can't lock away these golden hearts and iron chains.
There's no time today
to find out what we pay
for forgetting the world ain't meant to turn that way.

Without dreams there ain't no dreamers
without schemes there ain't no schemers
to come around to take the lull away.
There's nothing better here to do
than see who's out there left to fool
into proving we're the dawning of the day.

In the twilight hour of might
when the dreamers dance before the light
and see reflections of the graves
in the faces science fought to save.
They can laugh aloud
at the farmers woes
and the shepherds with their prayers of old
and miners back to shovel the coal
to run that morning train.

(chorus)

That father of time
he's a wicked boy
he can take your family and joy
and send it down that memory lane
and he won't come back when you call his name.

(chorus)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
