Father Electricity - Winter of the Time Lyrics

The winter of the time
The winter of the time
The air is cold and the fog lays hold
And scarceness is the wine

And the woman that the stars laid out
Seems bitter and resigned
Why must there be such broken hearts
In the winter of the time

The winter of the time
We crave for the sublime
We put love in our pockets and we lose it on the climb

And the thieves crawl from the streets for fear of policemans' sure design
Why must they be inside my house
To shelter children, broken and divine

The winter of the time
The lord has sent a sign
The songs we sung in greener spring no longer find their rhyme

You witness all the kings fall down on the thirty eighth fault line
What words are there to utter now
In seasons of a crime

The winter of the time
Tried so hard to be kind
We fear the world will never turn to hear the season's chime

Captives of imperative, it twists our anxious minds
Turn yourself to the ones you love
In the winter of the time
