Master Of Time

Anthony Phillips


See, the days grown 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.
So we share our cup
With the thirsty fawn 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
