A Little Bit More Time Lyrics

Well You wake into a sunrise

And you chase it to the west

Doing all the things you shouldn't have

Till the sun is put to rest

Saying all the things you didn't mean

With well meaning in your words

Your summer voice is fleeting

And it flies south with the birds

But all I ever wanted from you

Was a message from your mind

All I need

Is a little bit more time

I step into a dancehall

Where the band is always late

The moon is hit by spotlights

And it's more than he can take

Because he's never danced in public

And his face goes very pale

He runs to the horizon

When his two-step starts to fail

But all he ever wanted for you

Was a little peace of mind

All it takes

Is a little bit more time

Are you losing faith in faeries

And the stories left untold

To the cruel and thankless future

Or are you just getting old?

Your eyes they used to sparkle

But now they only shine

You used to be so happy

But you've worn away with time

But all I ever wanted from you

Was a message from your mind

All I need

Is a little bit more time

Now I'm speaking to an old man

With a smile upon his face

The years have taken from him

His freedom and his grace

But he never sheds a tear

Because he doesn't need to cry

The memories of his youth are there

Behind his tired eyes

But all he ever wanted for you

Was a little peace of mind

All it takes

Is a little bit more time

And all I ever wanted from you

Was a message from your mind

All I need

Is a little bit more time
