Time
words & music by Mary Karlzen


Jonathan's coat hangs on the door
It don't fit him no more
On the table lies the ring
What promise does this bring?
In my head I try to see the reasons clearly

Hey now, don't you think it's time to wipe away the tears?
Time, time, time, time to file away the years

Old jelly jars and gin are what I think of when
Hot summer, sitting ancestry
Now it's just the jelly jars and me
Gone out on holiday
Is there something I forgot to say?

Hey now, don't you think it's time to wipe away the tears?
Time, time, time, time to file away the years
Cause you and I will always be together in this memory

Up ahead the road I see, are you waiting there for me?
And these visions to be free?

The days are falling like the leaves
Peel back the centuries
I can hear your voice from way back when
Here's till we meet again
Out across the galaxy, are you reaching out for me?

Hey now, don't you think it's time to wipe away the tears?
Time, time, time, time to file away the years
I know it's time, I know it's time
