Time

time — I’ve forgiven you, time
you were salt in my hand
so I threw you over my left shoulder
you landed, you landed on good soil
a few plants they died
but the heartier ones they survived
time — I’ve forgiven you, time
no I won’t speak ill
when you’re dead in the ground and I’m alive
see I, what I’ve got to show
is a home and a husband
and a cat who we can’t hold
still all I want is my mother
all I want is my mother
oh these holy waters
oh this hallow time
oh this fallen empire
is only in my mind
so I — I won’t give you anymore time
coz the next the thing I know
I’ll be dead to the fact that I’m alive
so you — you can look me in the eye
and you see that I’ve won
this time, this time, this time
so all I ask is for my mother
to know that she is good
you know I’d give it to her if I was able
but I was born with the same hollow
all I want is my mother
to know that she is good
all I want is my mother
