In Time - Abney Park

From the moment they met they were in love

A love as deep and strong as the sea

His hug fit her just like a glove

And when she saw him she sparkled with glee

But a curse was on them as old as time

And time was running out for him

Fifteen years her love sublime

Would die and leave him alone and grim

…alone and grim, in time

The more joy he felt, the more it hurt

The more he knew his time was ending soon

She would turn on him, her love would divert

And from his chest his heart would be hewn

Smiles like warm gold summer sun

Her hair like a cool new morning breeze

She’d leave him as soon as she could run

His steps would falter, and his chest would seize, he’d fall to his knees

In time

From the day she was born they were in love

A fathers love as strong as the sea

He held her tight, tight as a glove

When she opened her eyes she sparkled with glee, sparkled at me

But he suffered the curse of all fathers through time

Eventually she’d lose faith in him

And the love they once found sublime

Would turn to revulsion dark and grim, she’d learn to hate him, in time

In time…
