That Golden Time - Villagers

Once, there was a way To get back homeward Once, there was a way To get back home Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake you when you rise Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Once, there was a way To get back homeward Once, there was a way To get back home Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Boy, you're gonna carry that weight (oh) Carry that weight a long time (oh) Boy, you're gonna carry that weight Carry that weight a long time I never give you my pillow I only send you my invitations And in the middle of the celebrations I break, I break, I break down Oh boy, you're gonna (carry that weight) You're gonna carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, carry that weight Carry that weight for a long time Oh, once, there was a way (hum) To get back homeward Once, there was a way To get back home (Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry) And I will sing a lullaby, mmh

My heart is spilling over Crashing on the ground I can't see what's around me But soon I'll come around My faith is in the balance Of a million tiny words So I return to silence And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying It's time that I let go Of things I can't control This path that I've taken Is the only one I know Well I've come so far to get here And I've got so far to go So I'll take what I can get In matters of the soul And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying And we are the dawn And we carry the sun And we are the dawn And we carry the sun And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (but I see it coming) No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (I feel alone) May never come, but I'm willing to wait (but I see it coming) What can I say? I'm a man of the faith (I feel alone) And there's an ocean in my body (but I see it coming) And there's a river in my soul (I see it coming) And I'm crying

The bus was late And forced us all to congregate Twenty seven strangers Made to stand and wait The time went by The sun went down A baby cried I just stood in line But there is no cue No stage hand saying what to do And you are me And I am you The bus it came And everybody loaded in Twenty seven strangers In a moving can The fluorescent light Doubled everyone inside The baby's face reflected In the shop fronts, in the sky But faces change And rules they all get rearranged And photographs All fade away The bus broke down At the graveyard on the edge of town Twenty seven strangers Separate without a sound So I walked home Just feeling nothing on my own Noticing that tree of yours I've been watching it grow So that's why I'm late My dearest one what can I say And tomorrow it could be the same When I do it all again

The sun is overhead And your feelings fade The summer's in the air And you're runnin' away The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart Wherever you go, I will follow We'll leave it all behind So alive We'll climb the sunlight one beam at a time Another open road And your foot on the gas Another memory load Of the summers past The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart Wherever you go, I will follow We'll leave it all behind So alive We'll climb the sunlight one beam at a time (Oh, summer's song) The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart The summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart
