David Gray old father time

Select language to translate this lyric

Here at the gates
On the day you were born
Spooling is breathened
And blossomed in thought
Mind in the head
Of this child of mine
Now we're up dancing
With old father time
Raising our glasses
To old father time
There's fear in the Concords
There's fire in the brave
Ain't no protecting from me my day
If I were strong if these
Lashes should shape
Now we're up dancing
With old father time
Passing the bottle around
Out there in the modern
Him pour it in lime
Planted and stuck in the ground
Now we're up dancing
With old father time
Old father time
Behold the great city
That went down the plague
Behold the great curtains
That murmur in rage
Blink your eyes once
And it's grace land again
Now we're up dancing
With old father time
Passing the bottle around
Out there in the modern
And pour in the lime
Planted and stuck in the ground
Now we're up dancing
With old father time
Old father time
Old father time
Old father time
