It's a hope, it's a lie If it's the same to you, the same to me - I'll try It's a wish, it's a dream Though this promise is not as real as it seems The last three times were nothing, and I'm still waiting around I keep running into something, just a bird stuck on the ground The warmness of the day has left, the setting of a son Like the hard December mornings, just before the cold's begun So laugh and run, and hold my hand that's calling out for you Both together, still, in mornings as a leaf hanging to dew There's gotta be a time for better timing Every hope, still a lie And every day it seems so hard to go and try And this wish, just a dream For each night that lays to burst it at the seams Take the train into the sunset, fall asleep 'gainst broken glass Slumber through the daylight, just await this life to pass The warmness of the day has left, the setting of a son Like the hard December mornings, just before the cold's begun So sing along, this symphony that hums a country tune For to separate in darkness, as a lie echoes the truth There's gotta be a time for better timing
