Joan Armatrading In These Times Lyrics

In These Times Lyrics

These are the times

Tears fill the back of your eyes

These are the times

The birds migrate across the skies



These are the times

What hope you had, you forget

These wicked times

You're bound to feel all sanity is lost



In these times everyone needs love

In these times do you pray to God



In these times everyone needs comfort

And would welcome a hand to hold

Compassion is the fire that burns the hurt that pains the soul

And though my eyes are so polluted

By the sight of lost desires

I can see you standing by



This is my fear

That distance will come between us

And it could mean nothing, nothing

To get from here to there



We own the world

And everything that's in it

Let our love shine

Like glistening raindrops, resting on a rose



In these times celebrate our love

In these times let's be thankful of



All the days we can spend together

And I'm happy to hold your hand

Your passion is the food that feeds the hunger in my heart

And now my eyes are clearly open

No more longing for the past

Now I have you in these times



In these times everyone needs love

In these times do you pray to God



In these times everyone needs comfort

And would welcome a hand to hold

Compassion is the fire that burns the hurt that pains the soul

And though my eyes are so polluted

By the sight of lost desires

Good to have you in these times
