In These Times-Joan Armatrading

[00:13.41]These are the times [00:16.90]Tears fill the back of your eyes [00:18.72]These are the times [00:20.80]The birds migrate across the skies [00:25.94]These are the times [00:28.81]What hope you had, you forget [00:31.52]These wicked times [00:33.58]You're bound to feel all sanity is lost [00:37.94]In these times everyone needs love [00:44.24]In these times do you pray to God [00:49.57]In these times everyone needs comfort [00:54.23]And would welcome a hand to hold [00:57.78]Compassion is the fire that burns the hurt that pains the soul [01:03.40]And though my eyes are so polluted [01:07.50]By the sight of lost desires [01:09.71]I can see you standing by [01:17.50]This is my fear [01:19.96]That distance will come between us [01:22.88]And it could mean nothing, nothing [01:26.57]To get from here to there [01:30.10]We own the world [01:33.16]And everything that's in it [01:35.84]Let our love shine [01:37.59]Like listening raindrops, resting on a rose [01:42.80]In these times celebrate our love [01:48.54]In these times let's be thankful of [01:53.76]All the days we can spend together [01:58.39]And I'm happy to hold your hand [02:01.80]Your passion is the food that feeds the hunger in my heart [02:07.60]And now my eyes are clearly open [02:11.12]No more longing for the past [02:13.81]Now I have you in these times [02:21.85]In these times everyone needs love [02:28.44]In these times do you pray to God [02:33.75]In these times everyone needs comfort [02:38.47]And would welcome a hand to hold [02:41.90]Compassion is the fire that burns the hurt that pains the soul [02:47.50]And though my eyes are so polluted [02:51.35]By the sight of lost desires [02:53.98]Good to have you in these times
