Lyrics

No time to crave your pardon now, there is so much emptiness and heartbreak and pain
shall murder all the flowers
my mind is numb
The weather has played havoc with the grass, green fingers grey
Surely now its time to open up each life to all, simply divide
time is a thief
there is so much emptiness and heartbreak and pain

I need to get on, i count the cost of i, is there any pleasure in a solitary growth
Got to shut you out, does anyone believe his garden s really going to last
How much worse, my mind is numb
through the grief
just the same as those outside
surely now its time to open up each life to all
Is there any pleasure in a solitary growth, the weather has played havoc with the grass

in the time allotted us
Is there any pleasure in a solitary growth, time is a thief
Erected to protect, fires smoulder, aspirations and beliefs
If it s not too late, surely now its time to open up each life to all, green fingers grey
There is so much sorrow in the world, aspirations and beliefs
Wind and rain leave gashes, how can we build the right path again
if it s not too late

Time is a thief, does anyone believe his garden s really going to last, raking through the ashes
i count the cost of i
And he ravages our gardens, raking through the ashes
How can we build the right path again, erected to protect
How can we build the right path again, now i see the garden that i ve grown is
And he ravages our gardens, if we all deny each others needs
is the happiness and laughter that we shared

Sucking sap and drying seeds, where are all the joys of yesterday Gardens, there is so much emptiness and heartbreak and pain
looking back
Just the same as those outside, how can we build the right path again, my hands are dirty
