Josh Ritter - Change of Time lyrics

[Josh Ritter - Change of Time lyrics]

I had a dream last night
I dream't that I was swimming
And the stars up above
Directionless and drifting
Somewhere in the dark
Were the sirens and the thunder
And around me as I swam
The drifters who'd gone under

Time, love time, love time, love time, love
Time, love time, love
It's only a change of time
I had a dream last night
And rusting far below me
Battered hulls and broken hardships
Leviathan and Lonely
I was thirsty so I drank
And though it was salt water
There was something 'bout the way
It tasted so familiar

Time, love time, love time, love time, love
Time, love time, love
It's only a change of time

The black clouds I'm hanging
This anchor I'm dragging
The sails of memory rip open in silence
We cut through the lowlands
All hands through the salt lands
The white caps of memory
Confusing and violent

I had a dream last night
And when I opened my eyes
Your shoulder blade, your spine
Were shorelines in the moon light
New worlds for the weary
New lands for the living
I could make it if I tried
I closed my eyes I kept on swimming

Time, love time, love
Time, love it's only a change of time
Time, love time, love
Time, love it's only a change of time
Time, love time, love
Time, love it's only a change of time
Time, love timeeeee
Time, love it's only a change of time
Time, love time, love
Time, love it's only a change of time
Time, love time, love
Time, love it's only a change of time

(Rough seas, they carry me wherever I go)
