Tundraland

When I lived in Tundraland
We’d have to guess before the hand
Of winter’s tide, how many’d die
And dig them graves before the ground was ice
Now late one autumn I fell ill
From by bedside windowsill
I saw a mound out by a tree
The hole beside it fit for me
Now in a minute there is time
Time to waste or redefine
So plan your lot a minute long
Don’t plan for years
That grave’s dug all along
Even though I don’t feel just right
We’re pretty sure that there’ll be time tonight
(Baby, don’t worry, don’t)
Even though I don’t feel just right
We’re pretty sure that there’ll be time
When I lived in Tundraland
The son of man shook my hand
And shook the ice off all the trees
Flood the hole they dug for me
And even though I don’t feel just right
We’re pretty sure that there’ll be time tonight
(Baby, don’t worry, don’t)
Even though I don’t feel just right
We’re pretty sure that there’ll be time
Baby don’t worry
No I’m in no hurry
Though time would sing so slow
You know I hate to be alone
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(La, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da)
(La, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da)
What if I was wrong this time
Standing on a beach of white
A human voice heard under sea
Sings only to swallow me
Even though I don’t feel just right
We’re pretty sure that there’ll be time tonight
(Baby, don’t worry, don’t)
Even though I don’t feel just right
We’re pretty sure that there’ll be time tonight
(Baby, don’t worry, don’t)
Even though I don’t feel just right
We’re making sure to take some time tonight
So sing it slow, you know I hate to be alone
(La, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da)
(La, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da)
(La, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da)
