A fitting conclusion to an album titled ‘The Colour of Spring’, this song speaks of renewal as well as our choice to identify with pain or blossom into love, to ‘live for living’.
[Verse 1]
Nobody knows how long
Rustling leaves unrhyme, I'm sorry
Lullaby breeze unsung
Babel of dreams unwinds in memory
As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
And love is only sleeping
Wrapped in neglect
[Chorus]
Time, it's time to live
Time, it's time to live for living
Time, it's time to live
Now that it's all over
Time, it's time to live
Time, it's time to live for living
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
[Verse 2]
Kissing a grey garden
Shadow and shade sunlight treads softly
As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
Contempt is ever breeding
Trapped in itself
[Chorus]
Time, it's time to live
Time, it's time to live for living
Time, it's time to live
Now that it's all over
Time, it's time to live
Time, it's time to live for living
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
The wicked and the weeping
Ramble or run
[Chorus]
Time, it's time to live
Time, it's time to live for living
Time, it's time to live
Now that it's all over
Time, it's time to live
Time, it's time to live for living
Time, it's time to live
Now that it's all over
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Now that it's over
Now that it's over
Rest your head
