Time's Arrow Lyrics - The Weakerthans

So you watch the sunrise sinking and she's talking in her sleep 

A dream of how alone she was tomorrow 

When you keep all those promises to someone 

In a mirror you will find at your parents' house in 1989 

Terrorized by the ruling party, calenders and commas 

Small request, could we please turn around? 

So you whisper your arrival walking backwards to the door 

Wonder briefly what it is you're hesitating for 

All the streets lie down, deserted in the darkest part of night 

To lead you through the evening to the light 

Pulled along in tender grip of watched and ellipses 

Small request, could we please turn around?
