He lays alone cries on his own

for horizons he'll never reach

and all of those dreams are washed on the beach.

She's drowing in oceans of shackled emotions

going round and around in her head

while out on the streets people forget

that it's love you want

love you want

love you want.

She speaks of hoping he speacks of fighting

and tells her that they will come through

'cause he wants to feel the shock of the new

people that hurt you and they burn you

with acid the falls that falls from the sky

while out of the silence your voice says why ?

If it's love you want

love you want 

love you want

It's a matter of time a matter of time

but you're asking why oh life makes you cry?

Turn moss into roses and blood into wine.

It's a matter of time a matter of time

but all of your past still plays on your mind

and maybe tomorrow you'll live by design

it's a matter of time.

This isn't giving this isn't living

oh just days that pull you apart

and tears turn to rust that fall on steel hearts

so swallow youe maybes and cradle your babies

tell them that they will come through

their gonna feel the shock of the New

and if it's love you want

love you want 

love you want

It's a matter of time a matter of time

but you're asking why oh life makes you cry?

Turn moss into roses and blood into wine.

It's a matter of time a matter of time

but all of your past still plays on your mind

and maybe tomorrow you'll live by design

it's a matter of time.
