Time To Kill Lyrics

Neil Innes Time To Kill

The sun is in the sky
The stars still burn
Beneath my feet the earth is newly-turned
All the seeds are sown
And when they're fully grown
I shall sleep just like a stone in shallow water
A little time to live
Is such a lot of time to kill
Keep on moving even when you're standing still
Looking for an end and wondering how or when it will
But when it's gone and in the past
The stars will surely last
Forever
The sun is in the sky
The stars still burn
Beneath my feet the earth is newly-turned
All the seeds are sown
And when they're fully grown
I shall sleep just like a stone in shallow water
A little time to live
Is such a lot of time to kill
Keep on moving even when you're standing still
Looking for an end and wondering how or when it will
But when it's gone and in the past
The stars will surely last
Forever
