about

A song about the mystery and power of time.

lyrics

The Only Thing
© Mark Jewett 2018

Time is a messenger of joy and grief
It can leave you bent and broke or rich beyond belief
With memories of love
Sunsets and stars above

Time is a thief and a giver of grace
Time draws battle lines and lines on your face
Lines that tell a story
Every heartache and glory

Time has always been here
Time will always be
A mystery to me
Time has no conscience
Time has no fear
It’s the only thing
That brought us here

Time attends the wounded ‘til every wound is healed
I don’t think we understand the power time can wield
The power to carry on
To be right here and then be gone

Time has always been here
Time will always be
A mystery to me

Time has no conscience
Time has no fear
It’s the only thing
That brought us here

Time is a spirit, no shadow, no face
An apparition that we try but fail to embrace

Time has always been here
Time will always be
A mystery to me
Time has no conscience
Time has no fear
It’s the only thing
That brought us here
