Tina Dico - Quarter To Forever Lyrics
It was a mild and lively evening at the end of MayI had run out for one quick coffee at the corner cafeI 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 restYour work is nothing worth unlessYour 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 andTo everyone who thinks that life is where they're headed toWho thinks a better day awaits as soon as they get throughThese busy years of things to doThis wall of greedy cynics whoPersuade them to give up their dreams too soonTake your timeIt's a quarter to forever nowTake your timeIt's a quarter to forever nowTo everyone who thinks that love was just a dream they hadWho thinks tomorrow and the future has nothing new to add andTo everyone who's watched their hopes run out and slam the doorAnd everyone who still don't know what they are looking for orFound it and dropped it on the floorWhose hands and arms have gotten soreFrom holding on too tight to what once wasTake your timeIt's a quarter to forever nowTake your timeIt's a quarter to forever now
