I am the borrowed time giver I wait by the edges of beds I prop up the corners and smooth out the wrinkles I'm also the turner of heads I am the lone sea breaker My whisper it shepherds your dreams You have awoken on a Distant shore, it seems I am the voice of antiquity Tethered to leaves on the wind I am the cloth that covers you When you have sinned I am the borrowed time lender Your hope, it rides on my wings I am the broken mind mender All I can do is offer you these things Mine is the touch of changes Though none of them I can claim I sweep up the mirror pieces That reflect your shame I am the blind leading the blind I have no secret gift The truth is what you'll find When the veil you needn't lift We are the worm food growers The crawlers, they rule from below They eat up the dead and squeeze out the living And time marches on just so

Borrowed Time
I am the borrowed time giver I wait by the edges of beds I prop up the corners and smooth out the wrinkles I'm also the turner of heads I am the lone sea breaker My whisper it shepherds your dreams You have awoken on a Distant shore, it seems I am the voice of antiquity Tethered to leaves on the wind I am the cloth that covers you When you have sinned I am the borrowed time lender Your hope, it rides on my wings I am the broken mind mender All I can do is offer you these things Mine is the touch of changes Though none of them I can claim I sweep up the mirror pieces That reflect your shame I am the blind leading the blind I have no secret gift The truth is what you'll find When the veil you needn't lift We are the worm food growers The crawlers, they rule from below They eat up the dead and squeeze out the living And time marches on just so
