Tina Dickow - Quarter to Forever (A Beginning) lyrics
[Tina Dickow - Quarter to Forever A Beginning lyrics]
It was a mild and lively evening
At the end of May
I had run out for one quick
Coffee at the corner cafe
I must have looked a
Little tense and over-worked, i guess
'Cause this old man leaned in and said:
"My darling, what's the stress?
Come sit, come have a moment's rest
Your work is nothing worth unless
Your mind is calm and clear and at it's best"
And he went on:
"To everyone who's running faster every day
" he said "To everyone who's not found peace
And indepence yet and
To everyone who thinks that life
Is where they're headed to
Who thinks a better day await's as
Soon as they get through
These busy years of things to do
This wall of greedy cynics who
Persuade them to give up
Their dreams too soon
Take your time it's a quarter to forever now
Take your time it's a quarter to forever now
To everyone who thinks that love was
Just a dream they had
Who thinks tomorrow and the future has
Nothing new to add and
To everyone who's watched their hopes run
Out and slam the door
And everyone who still don't know what
They are looking for or
Found it and dropped it on the floor
Whose hands and arms have gotten sore
From holding on too tight to what once was
Take your time it's a quarter to forever now
Take your time it's a quarter to forever now
At the end of May
I had run out for one quick
Coffee at the corner cafe
I must have looked a
Little tense and over-worked, i guess
'Cause this old man leaned in and said:
"My darling, what's the stress?
Come sit, come have a moment's rest
Your work is nothing worth unless
Your mind is calm and clear and at it's best"
And he went on:
"To everyone who's running faster every day
" he said "To everyone who's not found peace
And indepence yet and
To everyone who thinks that life
Is where they're headed to
Who thinks a better day await's as
Soon as they get through
These busy years of things to do
This wall of greedy cynics who
Persuade them to give up
Their dreams too soon
Take your time it's a quarter to forever now
Take your time it's a quarter to forever now
To everyone who thinks that love was
Just a dream they had
Who thinks tomorrow and the future has
Nothing new to add and
To everyone who's watched their hopes run
Out and slam the door
And everyone who still don't know what
They are looking for or
Found it and dropped it on the floor
Whose hands and arms have gotten sore
From holding on too tight to what once was
Take your time it's a quarter to forever now
Take your time it's a quarter to forever now
