your time is near

Lyrics

well it took a long time but you've finally worn out your smile, that's when i knew it, i've run outta bar a time?, you always used to say that you could learn a lot through wasting time, and that if you look hard, you'll see yourself in your lovers eyes, your time is near it won't be long, you've got to go when you're called upon, no light of day no sight of dawn, don't turn around just walk right on, you came riding into town with a black and white five and ten, said i'll be your captain, and take you back home again, it's your third time around but you know i'll get a second wind, but if we ever get there they'll be no one there to let us in, your time is near it won't be long, you've got to go when you're called upon, you caught me dancing in the street last night, you walked right past me into the light, packed up my souvenirs, tied my shoes, and sold my car, yes i should have known it, i'd never get very far, ever since we've met you've been a hungry and a restless child, you're just like your father, you know he's got a poison mind, your time is near it won't be long, you've got to go when you're called upon, you said you and me we'd never will pretend, but my broken soul is never gonna mend
