Cold coffee at the crack of dawn - Won’t you send me on my way
A low sun split shadows so long - On all the things that I meant to say
Don’t stay in this town - move on - Nobody’s gonna shine a light
You’re still pushing all the pain away - And the clock keeps ticking all night
It keeps ticking all night
It keeps ticking all night
I’m gonna take my time - Until I’m looking down
At all the oceans green - And all the fields of brown
And would you waste your time? - Looking for reasons why
I’m gonna float down stream - Under the big blue sky
And In a field on a hill in the rain - At the start of another day
We tie a string around the gifts that they gave - So that we can live this way
Waking up with a hard heart - Is gonna take you down to your grave
We place flowers on the the black stone - In a field on a hill in the rain
In the rain
I’m gonna take my time - Until I’m looking down
At all the oceans green - And all the fields of brown
And would you waste your time? - Looking for reasons why
I’m gonna float down stream - Under the big blue sky
I’m going back to the Pentland Hills - To a place I was once a child
No cares and the sun shone bright - And in a time that was running wild
You hold your love so carefully - Because you know it’s a double edged sword
It doesn’t hurt it doesn’t mean a thing - And that’s the price that you can’t afford
That you can’t afford ….
I’m gonna take my time - Until I’m looking down
At all the oceans green - And all the fields of brown
And would you waste your time? - Looking for reasons why -
I’m gonna float down stream - Under the big blue sky
And would you waste your time?
And would you waste your time?
And would you waste your time?
