Time's Arrow

Lyrics for Time's Arrow

The rain falls up, off the street The clocks turn back in retreat Footsteps fall off of our feet I can see the tears crawling off your cheeks It's turning back to pink The slap got pulled right off of it We all fall back into bed again When you see what you've done You'll want to take it back To take it back and do it all over again But you can't, you can't and it's killing you The doctor comes in off the street The stitch gets pulled out of the bleed Mothers fall down in their seats I can see time's arrow turning back to me The children getting light They'll disappear into a sigh And we'll all rise like snowflakes in the sky tonight
