No Time Tonight

(album: Let It Fly - 2013)

They're battening down the town tonight
Piling high to quell the might
That's been sleeping on the carousel
That turns the water in the well
She's woken up, with the early light
Across the strait the buoy's bell's chime
The radio warns them not to dwell
As the water turns, inside the well

No time, no time, to turn away
No time, no time to lose this day
It's gonna blow a gale tonight
No time, no time tonight

Kyla see's the wild wind bend
The Norfolk pines at the rivers end
A southern storm that broke the spell
That turned the water in her well

No time, no time, to turn away
No time, no time to lose this day
It's gonna blow a gale tonight
No time, no time tonight

And the shoreline wastes
And the sea doth roar
We're just specs of dust
On a dirty floor
On a dirty floor

They opened up the bottle top
And let the genie twist and hop
That swam beyond the autumn swell
That turned the water into hell

No time, no time, to turn away
No time, no time to lose this day
It's gonna blow a gale tonight
No time, no time tonight

No time, this time, to find your faith
No time, this time, to lose your way
It's gonna blow a gale tonight
No time, no time tonight...
