The Ballad Of Time And Eternity Lyrics - Smalltown Poets

Once up in a bottle there lived Time 

And He had a garden where He met her by morning 

And there in the dawning 

They dreamed of a life where Time could leave His fine bottle 

And unfading travel with her to ask for Her father's blessing 

She was Eternity and He would fall behind 

Slowly and silently, she was losing Time 

Hold on you're getting somewhere 

You're gonna find the answers out there 

Hold on you're getting somewhere 

I know I'm right and you're gonna find out 

One day covered in twilight Time passed by 

Surprised at what she was holding, smiling she told Him 

This seed is for your garden 

We'll sow it together and only while we're out walking 

Rise and grow it will, Time stood still in her presence not passing 

That day Eternity made a date with Time 

And she could almost see the reason and the rhyme 

Hold on you're getting somewhere 

You're gonna find the answers out there 

Hold on you're getting somewhere 

I know I'm right 

I know I'm right, just look at Time 

And once He had just a secret, a tree in a garden 

Bound to a bottle and now He scatters his seeds 

All over creation 

Each one a meeting place for the love of His life 

And Eternity she has Time 

She has Time
