From the CD of The Geese And The Ghost]



See, the days grow long

Winter comes upon us like a storm at sea

And the will to live

Seems a little thin sometimes

When those you love are lost beneath the snowfall



"Give and you will live"

Said a man who lived in a funny way

So we share our cup

With the thirsty few of life

Who leaves us on the highway without water



Master of time

Take me back through the years

Master of time

Let me try once again

And I will give more

Oh how I'll try

And with this

A new life I'll buy



Hush! the marsh-duck cries

Far away she knows that her love will be

And she nestles down

Sobbing still, she dries her eyes

Knowing that the world will cry the rest out



Where did beauty go?

Seek it here, there but it's slipped away

And when they come to lay me down

I will take your memory too

They'll know that in my final hour, I loved you



Master of time

Take me back through the years

Master of time

Let me try once again

And I will give more

Oh how I'll try

And with this

A new life I'll buy
