Once up in a bottle there lived Time
And He had a garden where He met her by morning
And there in the dawning
They dreamed of a life where Time could leave His fine bottle
And unfading travel with her to ask for Her father’s blessing
She was Eternity and He would fall behind
Slowly and silently, she was losing Time
Hold on you’re getting somewhere
You’re gonna find the answers out there
Hold on you’re getting somewhere
I know I’m right and you’re gonna find out
One day covered in twilight Time passed by
Surprised at what she was holding, smiling she told Him
This seed is for your garden
We’ll sow it together and only while we’re out walking
Rise and grow it will, Time stood still in her presence not passing
That day Eternity made a date with Time
And she could almost see the reason and the rhyme
Hold on you’re getting somewhere
You’re gonna find the answers out there
Hold on you’re getting somewhere
I know I’m right
I know I’m right, just look at Time
And once He had just a secret, a tree in a garden
Bound to a bottle and now He scatters his seeds
All over creation
Each one a meeting place for the love of His life
And Eternity she has Time
She has Time
