| Hold back the time… just let it hang…
|
| stop the seconds, minutes, and hours
|
| and if I give you love…
|
| will you let me keep myself?
|
| I’m sitting out here on the very edge of earth
|
| looking through a book from long before the world began
|
| the man who gave it to me didn’t have a name
|
| so overhead the sun is running down the day.
|
| The books begins it’s story,
|
| it tells of war and hate and tells of power,
|
| the promises of freedom,
|
| and of all religions love and
|
| ways of life and how to…
|
| Close your time inside a flower
|
| stop the seconds, minutes, hours,
|
| close your time inside a flower
|
| live your life forget the power.
|
| The people passing by and they stop to look at me they all think I’m crazy 'cause I’m laughing in the wind
|
| but I’m free to be whatever I may choose
|
| to win this freedom I know that somebody had to lose.
|
| I’ve learned of those who buy love
|
| read about those willing to sell it when we’re born it’s for love
|
| some of us would die
|
| just to get it what you gotta do is…
|
| Close your time inside a flower
|
| stop the seconds, minutes, hours,
|
| close your time inside a flower
|
| live your life forget the power.
|
| We can give our love away and never lose ourselves
|
| but no one can be something that you own
|
| and if you think you’ve got the
|
| right to tell me what I am
|
| I got no trouble leaving you alone.
|
| Close your time inside a flower
|
| stop the seconds, minutes, hours,
|
| close your time inside a flower
|
| live your life forget the power |
