Horslips - Time To Kill lyrics

rate me

The hop jig we've used here is in 9/8 time and is called The Humours of<br />

Whiskey.<br />

I see the last black swan<br />

Fly past the sun.<br />

I wish I, too, were gone<br />

Back home again.<br />

It seems our fortunes lied<br />

Despite our gain.<br />

Our tears fall like our pride.<br />

We cry in shame.<br />

Now we've got time to kill!<br />

Kill the shadows on our skin.<br />

Kill the fear that grows within.<br />

Killing time, my friend.<br />

I stare into your eyes.<br />

But can't see far.<br />

You cut me down to size.<br />

You bring the dark.<br />

My body's black and sore.<br />

I need to sleep.<br />

Now hear the heaven's roar.<br />

I can't escape.<br />

Now we've got time to kill!<br />

Kill the shadows on our skin.<br />

Kill the fear that grows within.<br />

Killing time, my friend.
