Time Has a Way Songtext
von Pattern‐Seeking Animals

Cursed sky, the frogs rain down
Through ghosts of those long in the ground
They′re haunting me
Some think that I think too much
A creeping paranoia fuels these sleepless dreams
And though it seems to most that I am sane

Praying better angels guide me
Safely through the maze of men whose ways I fear
Shadows cloak the chosen one
I'm fighting every urge to run and disappear
Fighting every urge to disappear

Time has a way of winding down the raging wars
While never changing course
Time has a way of wearing down the walls and as it crawls
Time will always have the final say

An unwelcome stranger, he rode through the border towns
Hoping to find her again
She fed his obsessions and quickly was gone
She said she′d be back but she never said when


She shone like the sun streaming down through kaleidoscopes
Someone else captured her light
A dark cloud hangs over him constantly now
A voice from behind saying, "Give up the fight"
She doesn't love you anymore, she doesn't care

Here lies a fast gun who challenged a faster one
"Listen," the gravedigger said
"I fear you′re intending to send me more work
This town′s buried more than its share of the dead"

Surely you know how the story is bound to go
It's not a mystery to me
The lady′s not worth it, it's time to move on
You can′t change the past, mister, best let it be
She doesn't love him anymore, she doesn′t care (doesn't care)

Time has a way of unraveling threads
Then tying new knots with the thoughts in our heads
Time has a say in all we plan in life and all that matters

Time has a way of replacing the scars
Erasing the past, realigning the stars
Time has a say in all we plan in life and all that matters

Time has a say in all we plan in life

Chasing the future and leaving today
Tomorrow is calling, it's not far away


Time has a way in the trenches of love
Of revealing the truth that no one speaks of
Time has a say in all we plan in life and all that matters

Time has a way through the seasons we live
Of blurring the reasons we need to forgive
Time has a say in all we plan in life and all that matters
