The Ruse

Time & Place

The Ruse


Look up, don't you look down
This place is above
Not below the ground 
The time is here
The clock is run down
The dreaming is over 
Not awake but somehow I'm found 
Enough, did I do enough? 
A lifetime of hiding catching up
It really caught up 
If this is the light on my face 
If this is the time and the place  
Then I can look back on my days and know that I've been there So now, in the light of this hour 
All the ones that I've touched and I loved have gathered around  
I wish they could see what I see now 
They'd never believe what I see now
If they only knew what I found out there 
If this is the light on my face 
If this is the time and the place 
Then I can look back on my days and know that I've been there  
Wish they could see what I see now
They'd never believe what I see now
This is the light on my face
This is the time and the place 
Then I can look back on my days and know that I've been there 
And how can't you love what's been done and how can't you love when you've moved someone 
If that's all I have when I'm done 
Then let me begin there 
Let me begin there
