Master of Time

 See, the days grown long
Winter comes upon us
Like a storm at sea.
And the will to live 
Seems a little thin sometimes
When those you love are
Lost beneath the snowfall.
 
"Give and you will live",
Said a man who lived 
In a funny way.
So we share our cup
With the thirsty fawn of life
Who leaves us on the 
Highway without water.
 
Master of Time, take me back through the years.
Master of Time, let me try once again
And I will give more, oh how I'll try,
And with this, a new life I'll buy.
 
Hush! The marsh-duck cries,
Far away, she knows
That her love will be,
And she nestles down,
Sobbing still, she dries her eyes,
Knowing that the world
Will cry the rest out.
 
Where did beauty go?
Seek it here, there
But it's slipped away.
And when they come to lay me down,
I will take your memory too,
They'll know that in my final hour,
I loved you.
 
Master of Time, take me back through the years.
Master of Time, let me try once again
And I will give more, oh how I'll try,
And with this, a new life I'll buy.
