Don't You Wonder Whether It's TIME?

Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
For us to get it together in time to rhyme
The reason we've got for living at all?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Tell me, does the answer really require the clime,
Or the season just right for giving the CALL?
There's only so many ways that I could lay it out for you
Before the lines I could draw
Start to criss-cross before your very eyes.
There's only so many days
That we have left to get it straight and true
Before the Face that Moses saw
Gets tired of all the multitude of lies
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
For us to get it together in time to rhyme
The reason we've got for living at all?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Tell me, does the answer really require the clime,
Or the season just right for giving the CALL?
Don't say you're lonely these days
When it comes time to lift the veil
It's there, you will see what your heart
Hasn't ever had the courage to know
It won't pay to be lonely anyways
Then, or now, we've gotten so far past the pale
The letter we use to end and start
The A to Z of the whole wonderful show
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
For us to get it together in time to rhyme
The reason we've got for living at all?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Tell me, does the answer really require the clime,
Or the season just right for giving the CALL?
There's no way I can tell you
Any thing that you don't already share
With the world, your shadow, your sleep
And the last stop in a long line of days
So, I won't ever spell you
Different from what is completely fair
I've slept in the same dark, drear sleep
We're but a stage for this most simple of plays
(Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?
Don't you wonder whether it's TIME?)
(Repeat and Fade)
