Higher In Time Lyrics - Waterboys

The mountain is steep 

the ditches are deep 

The task in hand 

is making us weep 

But here's a promise 

(I intend to keep 

/ 

That I mean to keep) 

Seed it in your mind 

and say it each night 

Before you sleep: 

we will climb higher in time 

(och!)

You've got a head full of trouble 

and a ship to build 

(You think you won't make it 

but you know you will 

You feel you need your 

cup refilled 

Fill it out of mine 

we'll drop the defenses, 

Pool our skill 

/ 

Your heart you're hiding 

it's making you ill 

You feel like you want to have your 

sporran refilled 

Well, fill it out of mine 

let the soulful water 

Overspill) 

and we will climb higher in time

I've been to the bottom 

I've been on the train 

I've slept in the gutter 

with my head in a drain 

I've been brutally proud 

I've been mortally shamed 

But this is not a crime 

I'm just learning, my friends, 

That it's all in the game 

and we will climb higher in time 

(Och!) 

Climb higher in time 

climb higher in time
