keeping time - the granite shore lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1a]
hunched behind us at the back
raised up off the floor
the riser now has fallen, we
shall see his like no more

[verse 1b]
clothes all wrong, hair too long
older than the rain
we thought he would outlive us, we’ll
not see his like again

[chorus 1]
and keeping time
it’s all we’ve ever done
little did we know
so selfish and so young
we were keeping time
for everyone

[verse 2a]
six pints down and at his best
like a metronome
he’d sink another four and still
he’d drive us home

[verse 2b]
and then as tempers frayed in the lost decade
we used a drum machine
you only punch the data in the
once and wipe it clean

[chorus 2]
and keeping time
it’s all we’ve ever done
little did we know
so selfish and so young
we were keeping time
for everyone
with phasers set to stun

[middle]
and as we give a three-guitar salute
we hear a distant drum
the ancient rain begins to fall
and now the time has come

[chorus 3]
keeping time
it’s all we’ve ever done
now i think i know
it’s time that i’d begun
and i’m not even sure
that in the longer run
we’ll be keeping time
for everyone
