If There Was A Time

Harem Scarem · Mood Swings [1993]

I try to talk to the clouds

But they spill out the rain

Now I'm truly convinced

They've got nothing to say



Will I ever learn

Is there something wrong with my brain

Now the weeds are on fire

And they're burning away



Last time I checked I'm at 34 sins

Another won't matter 'cause I'm never gonna win

Hoping now I'm on a road that I can change

Cause I'll change

If there was a time when I needed to pray

That the cold wind blows away

If there was a time when I needed a place

To wipe the guilt free from my face

If there was a time for mercy in my life

It's right now



If I were down on my knees

Would it all be in vain

But for now I'll believe

Until there's some better way

And my pages turn

Til I've got nothing to say

Now the days with no dawn

Are coming of age



Last time I checked I'm at 35 sins

Another won't matter 'cause I'm never gonna win

Holding onto a ghost that I can't save
