Your Time Has Come Lyrics

Your Time Has Come lyrics

Now one fell asleep in the street

and he never woke up

And now one died in pieces

in his bed with his head full of gold

And one threatened me long ago when i saw him

melt in the bright light of day

And one laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows



I've been wandering sideways

I've stared straight into the sun

Still, I don't know why you're dying

Long before your time has come

Your time has come



Now one took some bullets to the chest in a deal gone wrong

One got a little too depressed so he went and jumped the gun

One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived

But he doesn't know my name or who I am

and I'm not surprised, hey



I've been wandering sideways

I've stared straight into the sun

Still, i don't know why you're dying

Long before your time has come



Yeah I've been wandering sideways

I've stared straight into the sun

Still I don't know why you're dying

Long before your time has come

Your time has come, hey



(Solo)



I've seen 50,000 names all engraved on in stone

Most of them, met an early grave years before i was born

All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind

And most of their family and friends are still alive, doing time



I've been wandering sideways

I've stared straight into the sun

And i don't know why you're dying

Long before your time has come



Yeah I've been wandering sideways

I've stared straight into the sun

And I don't know why you're dying

Long before your time has come (x3)

Your time has come
