father time's naptime

I find somewhat peculiar
The passages of time
They pass like paragraphs
Some chap paid by the word would write

Minutes go by like molasses
The seconds like centuries
Time takes its time to pass when
I don't have you here with me.

Do you hear me, tell me babe
Do you hear me when i say
I'd like to hold you in my arms
And drift away

But when the ice begins to thaw
And all the clouds roll back,
I feel the fastening of your arms
As i feel my heart beat fast,

Father time retires to his bed
Like you and i,
And finally rests his weary head
On pillows made of time.

Their stitches sewn of seconds
And filled with feathers of fate
And we, happy to fall in love
To give the guy a break.

do you hear me, are you awake
do you hear me when i say
i'd like to hold you in my arms
and drift away

It's not okay
That you aren't here right next to me
My heart it breaks
That you can't listen to it beat
If i had my way
Each day would end with you and me
Tucked tight and safe
Hearing you breathe id fall sleep
But til that day
You'll have a place
Here in my dreams

And in that moment i despise
Just as the moon dreads the day,
When father time opens his eyes
And all the clocks awake,

Some whisper you and i hear
Somewhere between head and heart
That, much to our objection,
Tells us it is time to part

So until we meet again my love
I entrust to you my heart
And await the day time goes to sleep
And our two hearts beat as one.

And on that day
All of the sorrow stress and strife
Will fade away
And we'll be sleeping with a smile
And it'll be okay
For the first time in a while
And we can pray
To forever con father time
