If words were all it took to save someone
I would have said more of them to you
But words just didn't seem to do the job somehow
Now time is gone and the morning is here
I tried to warn you about the coming of the dawn
Now time is gone and the morning is here
(chorus)
Morning is here
Sun shining bright and clear
The night has finally disappeared
And time is gone
Time is gone
I tried to you about the coming of the dawn
Now time is gone and the morning is here
Time is gone and the morning is here
(chorus)
Time is gone
Time is gone
Yeah
