VERSE 1
Love me before I fade away
Time is no more a friend to play.
CHORUS 1
Love is a fickle mistress who guards her tongue
Time’s a thief who devours the moon and sun
Life’s a cold, dead thing that
sings our songs
God’s nowhere to be found though I cry year-long.
VERSE 2
Life is too strong to lose the day
God’s in my heart
and he will stay.
CHORUS 2
Love is a fickle mistress who guards her tongue
Time’s a thief who devours the moon and sun
Life’s a cold, dead thing that
sings our songs
God is somewhere to be found, and I’ll quest evermore.
CHORUS 3
Love is a fickle mistress who guards her tongue
Time’s a thief who devours the moon and sun
Life’s a cold, dead thing that
sings our songs
God is right here to be found as I search my soul.
