Joan Armatrading - In these times - the concord mix lyrics

These are the times Tears fill the back of your eyes These are the times The birds migrate Across the skies These are the times What hope you had you forget These wicked times You're bound to feel All sanity is lost In these times everyone needs love In these times do you pray to God In these times everyone needs comfort And would welcome a hand to hold Compa**ion is the fire That burns the hurt That pains the soul And though my eyes are so polluted By the sight of lost desires I can see you standing by This is my fear That distance will come between us And it could mean nothing Nothing To get from here to there We own the world And everything that's in it Let our love shine Like glistening raindrops Resting on a rose In these times celebrate our love In these times let's be thankful of All the days we can spend together And I'm happy to hold your hand Your pa**ion is the food That feeds the hunger in my heart And now my eyes are clearly open No more longing for the past Now I have you in these times In these times everyone needs love In these times do you pray to God In these times everyone needs comfort And would welcome a hand to hold Your pa**ion is the fire That burns the hurt That pains the soul And though my eyes are so polluted By the sight of lost desires Good to have you in these times
