lyrics

Verse 1

Time is a healer and time is a thief.
Time is a thrill and bore.
Time is the one thing,
we might have too much of,
but please God just give me some more.

Verse 2

Time washes over us just like cold water flow.
Silently, just like the air.
Everything ages,
In relative stages.
We never have time to prepare.

Chorus

Measure the hours in a day.
Measure the days in a year.
What does it matter at all,
if there’s no-one else here.

Take time to think and reflect.
Take time to show that you care.
What does it matter at all,
if there’s nobody there.

Verse 3

Time burns like a candle; all heat smoke and ashes.
It falls like fine sand in a glass.
We can do nothing,
to change its direction.
We just have to let the time pass.

Verse 4

Time has a hunger that ravages everything.
Time can bring glory or wealth.
Time takes its toll on us,
cradles and comforts us.
Let’s raise a glass to our health.

Chorus

Measure the hours in a day.
Measure the days in a year.
What does it matter at all,
if there’s no-one else here.

Take time to think and reflect.
Take time to show that you care.
What does it matter at all,
if there’s nobody there.

Verse 5

Time can be soft as the beat of a heart,
or as hard as the cold, stoney ground.
Time can be loud,
like the cracking of thunder,
But usually won’t make a sound.

Verse 6

Time can move slowly, or time can pass quickly.
Time can be gone in a breath.
It marks the point,
you came into this world,
and then leads to the point of your death.

about

SC12 image

SC12 Hull, UK

I have been writing and producing music in some form or other since the mid 1980s, sometimes for work and some times for fun, but more recently I started to focus on creating music for video and chip music for use in game projects.

I thought after over 30 years maybe it was about time I tried to reach a further audience. ... more
