A Toy's World - Time Lyrics

A ferry boat upon the Nile
Too hot to sleep let's talk awhile
Time on our hands with no tomorrow planned
A love much wilder than the sea

The moon she has the hurting style
A china face, a painted smile
The sullen wind whispers what the night will bring
The hours that take away our time

Time - the thief in the night
Lock the hours deep inside
The moment you rise
You'll know the dark queen has her price

A midnight game of tumbling dice
The ship that fought to break the ice
Tossed on a sea of fears insanity
On troubled waves we race towards the shore

The circus it has just begun
To tame the heart of a lonely one
High on a wire we sway from ice to fire
All the while we're running out of time

Time - the thief in the night
Lock the hours deep inside
You'll know when you rise
That the dark queen's claimed her prize
