Time Lyrics
Hours and minutes and seconds
Who's counting?
I know you are
In cafes and stations
I know that your patience
Is pushed too far
I never mean to be so late
But always am
You'd think I'd learn to keep good time
But never have
The thing we should blame
Is my optimists brain
That has tricked us both
It is so full of hope
That I often don't cope
With the deadlines set
I never mean to be so late
But always am
You'd think I'd learn to keep good time
But never have
Who's counting?
I know you are
I know that your patience
Is pushed too far
But always am
You'd think I'd learn to keep good time
But never have
Is my optimists brain
That has tricked us both
That I often don't cope
With the deadlines set
But always am
You'd think I'd learn to keep good time
But never have

"'Time', grew from a piano piece Aidan has been working on. I was late to arrive at our writing session, as so lyrically it's all about my inability to keep good time. I've been told (by other fashionably late types), that a constant lateness in life is a sign of optimism...I always think I can make it, but never quite do. Who knows, I think it's more likely a self-fulfilling thing. I think late therefore I am?
Production wise - this is pure Aidan O'Brien piano lushness. Such a pleasure to sing over the top of these pieces." -Richard Walters
