Time Is A Lion Lyrics - Joe Henry

Here you go 

If you fear the angels above while you sleep 

Then I'll be the blood, you paint on your door 

Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep 

But time is a story and there will be more 

Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep 

But time is a story and there will be more 

And death in disgrace can seduce anyone 

That needs to believe there's judgment at hand 

Or God may be kind and see you like a son 

But time is a lion when you are a lamb 

Or God may be kind and see you like a son 

But time is a lion when you are a lamb 

The years see the best of intentions and greed 

They come without shame, they'll leave you with some 

Men become old when their hurt becomes need 

But time is a lover and your time is young 

Men become old when their hurt becomes need 

But time is a lover and your time is young 

The sun is a soldier, out crawling the hills 

Setting fire to every house that's in view 

Lighting the ruin of my hope and my will 

Till I'm like a shadow and I'm falling on you 

Crawling on you, oh, you know how I do 

So sleep here with me and I'll keep you close 

For now while I try to live up to you 

You can't see the challenge of this I suppose 

But time is a dare and I'm trying to 

You can't see the challenge of this I suppose 

But time is a dare and I'm trying to 

Time is a dare and I'm trying to 

Time is a dare and I'm trying to 

Time is a dare and I'm trying to
