Time In My Life - Dulcimer
(1971)
Singing a song of the time in my life
There was no trouble and there was no strife
I was walking around with my feet on the ground
Nothing changed but the time
Now ladybirds and butterflies, sunlight on their wings
Pebbles rolling into streams give life to silver rains
Flowing hardships up down the line to turn the time of day
Half past three, time for tea, add I must be on my way
So I'm singing a song of the time in my life
There was no trouble and there was no strife
I was walking around with my feet on the ground
Nothing changed but the time
An orchid with her mind's touch turns the leaves to gold
Wrinkles on the silver birch now summer's world enfolds
Squirrels with their art and stores hide from winter skies
Hedgehogs in thier hedgeholes slowly close thier sleepy eyes
So I'm singing a song of the time in my life
There was no trouble and there was no strife
I was walking around with my feet on the ground
Nothing changed but the time
And frost, it forms upon the ground, leaves patterins in the nights
Now pressing on my window in the early moringing lights
Breathe upon the window and the pattern disapears
When sleep, inside your memories, the pattern last for years
So I'm singing a song of the time in my life
There was no trouble and there was no strife
I was walking around with my feet on the ground
Nothing changed but the time.
Yes I'm singing a song of the time in my life
There was no trouble and there was no strife
I was walking around with my feet on the ground
Nothing changed but the time
Nothing changed but the time
