The countless eyes dotted in the night sky I speak the language, or several hundred words A cloudless day, a thunderous night Among companions, I'll carry my name But the life we lead came gradually Who keeps the time? A bitter lime, will do us fine To kill the taste We'll turn deaf ears on all that we don't wanna hear But a cause for travel has come again At this early hour, I'll tell your wife a story She looks outside and doubles over laughing Of the souls you loved, and a place you lived Those country houses And a change of heart tore us apart Oh, what a ride ♪ Every chance you have All the love and life All the joy and grace Don't be absurd, don't you think it out You know what thinking does To love's shine, and love's light Now it's your every word Oh I'm hanging on It feels right these days I saw strange things The lines of old faces Up on the stormy sky, tonight ♪ Now all the younger kids have gone away to sleep In the days to come, I'll do the same At this early hour, I'll tell your wife a story She looks outside and doubles over laughing The life we lead came gradually Who keeps the time? Bitter lime, do us fine To kill the taste
