All You Have Is Time Lyrics

Was sitting in the corner stall

Keep shadows cross my face

Sometimes I mind to be alone

Somewheres the peace I'll take

Neon lights the dancing halos

Coming cross awash the night

When a stranger from the distance

Sidled in and shed his light

Son I've lived so many lifetimes

Been the friend and been the foe

Been a man of many seasons

Watched the ages come and grow

Son I reckon that this seat right here

Is cold and vacant too

Won't you lend me now an ear

I got what to say to you

If there's time to stay and drink all night

There's time to sit and talk

If there's daylight left to make it right

Then run home son don't walk

If there's heart enough to give away

Then theres love enough to show

If theres room for hope left in the heart

Then theres place inside the home

Well I looked up at the old man now

At his wisened grizzled face

And I asked him what's he's doing here

On this night and in this place

He said Son I've walked the line for love

I've let it go back when

And I'm trying here to save your life

Not to go where I now am

If there's time to stay and drink all night

There's time to sit and talk

If there's daylight left to make it right

Then run home son don't walk

If there's heart enough to give away

Then theres love enough to show

If theres room for hope left in the heart

Then theres place inside the home

Well I sat there feeling sullen as bold as I was blue

And I looked out to the chilly night into auburn misty hues

I was searching for an answer I was looking for a sign

He said time is now a wasting tell me what'll you decide

So I stood up and thanked him l paid my open tab

And I walked around to where he stood and shook his outstretched hand

And I ran back home as I was told

(I was running home to her)

Through the wind the rain and cold

(I'm sorry love)

She Laid her head upon my shoulder

And my world welcomed me home

And theres somewhere sitting at a bar a man who's lost his way

There ain't always gonna be a man with words he wants to say

But if you're lost inside a bottle Son theres a way to see the day

Go on back and know she's waiting there

And makes it all okay
