Joan Baez - When Time Is Stolen lyrics

rate me

(Words and Music by Joan Baez)

The music stopped in my hand

my hand

my hand

Sadly smiled the band

the band

the band

Softly echoes your laughter

riddled with tears

When time is stolen it flies

it flies

it flies

Lovers leave in disguise

disguise

disguise

Weariness hangs like a curtain

heavy and old

heavy and cold.

It is said to never look back

look back

look back

To shadows you left on the track

the track

the track

Gather your roses and run

the long way around

And if time should ever be right

my love

my love

I'll come to you in the night

my love

my love

But now there is only the sorrow

parting is near

parting is here

parting is here

parting is here
