(Riff 1)
F D#sus2 A#m F
In this one of many possible worlds, all for the best, or some bizarre test?
D#sus2
It is what it is - and whatever
A#m F
Time is still the infinite jest
F D#sus2 A#m F
The arrow files when you dream, the hours tick away - the cells tick away
D#sus2
The Watchmaker keeps to his schemes
A#m F
The hours tick away - they tick away
(Riff 2 - Part 1 x2 - Part2 x1)
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect
(Riff 1)
F D#sus2
In the rise and the set of the sun
A#m F
'Til the stars go spinning - spinning 'round the night
D#sus2
It is what it is - and forever
A#m F
Each moment a memory in flight
F D#sus2 A#m F
The arrow flies while you breathe, the hours tick away - the cells tick away
D#sus2
The Watchmaker has time up his sleeve
A#m F
The hours tick away - they tick away
(Riff 2 - Part 1 x2 - Part2 x1) (2x)
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect
The way you live, the gifts that you give
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect
The way you live, the gifts that you give
In the fullness of time
Its the only return that you expect
Riff 3
The future disappears into memory
With only a moment between
Forever dwells in that moment
Hope is what remains to be seen
(Solo)
(Riff 2 - Part 1 x4 - Part 2 x6)
In the fullness of time
Its the only return that you expect
