Master Of Time (Demo 1972)
[From the CD of The Geese And The Ghost]
See, the days grow long
Winter comes upon us like a storm at sea
And the will to live
Seems a little thin sometimes
When those you love are lost beneath the snowfall
"Give and you will live"
Said a man who lived in a funny way
With the thirsty few of life
Who leaves us on the highway without water
Master of time
Take me back through the years
Master of time
Let me try once again
And I will give more
Oh how I'll try
And with this
A new life I'll buy
Hush! the marsh-duck cries
Far away she knows that her love will be
And she nestles down
Sobbing still, she dries her eyes
Knowing that the world will cry the rest out
Where did beauty go?
Seek it here, there but it's slipped away
And when they come to lay me down
I will take your memory too
They'll know that in my final hour, I loved you
Master of time
Take me back through the years
Master of time
Let me try once again
And I will give more
Oh how I'll try
And with this
A new life I'll buy
