The Burden of Time

from New Songs by John Lyle

lyrics

The Burden of Time

The burden of time
Can turn on a dime
And so can the clouds
In the sky
Cover the sun
And when they’re done
Be gone like a speck
In the eye

Nothing is missing
When everything’s gone
When the known has flown
To parts unknown
There is no right or wrong

The burden of time
Turns on a dime
Just like clouds
In the sky
The rays of the sun
Are for everyone
No need to wonder why

Nothing is missing
When everything’s gone
When the known has flown
To parts unknown
There is no right or wrong
