Your Time Is Near Lyrics - Paper Tigers - Caesar

Well it took a long time but, you've finally worn out your smile 

That's when I knew it I'd run out of borrowed time 

You always used to say that, you could learn a lot through wasting time 

And that if you look hard you'll see yourself in your lover's eyes 

Your time is near, it won't be long 

You've got to go when you're called upon 

No light of day, no sight of dawn 

Don't turn around, just walk right on 

You came riding into town in a black and white five and ten 

Said, "I'll be your captain and take you back home again" 

It's your third time around but, you know I'll get a second wind 

But if we ever get there they'll be no one there to let us in 

Your time is near, it won't be long 

You've got to go when you're called upon 

You caught me dancing in the street last night 

You walked right past me into the light 

Packed up my souvenirs, tied my shoes and sold my car 

Yes, I should have known it, I'd never get very far 

Ever since we've met you've been a hungry and a restless child 

You're just like your father, you know he's got a poison mind 

Your time is near, it won't be long 

You've got to go when you're called upon 

You said you and me, we'd never will pretend 

But my broken soul is never gonna mend
