Kishore Kumar Hits — Ninebarrow - For A Time lyrics

Artist: Ninebarrow

album: Releasing the Leaves

As I walked late down Tyneham way
I met a man grown old and grey
His house was scarred and tumbledown
We stopped to talk about his town
For a time
We'd given first our only sons
To foreign fields and distant guns
Then gave the very land you see
Assured that it would only be
For a time
So we took our belonging and our skills
And we were scattered through these hills
Trusted those men that we thought wise
And carried on believing lies
For a time
But look how the roots break through these stone
How through these houses grass has grown
How wind and rain move through the halls
How shell and bullet mark the walls
Then he took me too the dragons' teeth
To the bay that lay beneath
And as the blood-red sunset burned
He shared the sum of all he'd learned
He said make the best of better days
Forever man himself betrays
For lies and empty guarantees
I played my part to keep you free
For a time
Time
Time
Time
Time
