Simple Minds - White Hot Day lyrics

Instrumental version called ba** line In time, only time, speak for time, in time Time calls, time cries, sweet friend of mine Time could be a place, a spirit and a face Teardrops through time While away below, the whirlwinds will blow A pretty nation speaks in time The beauty of it is, to waken up to Shake the hand of time In time, only time, we'll speak for time On a quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that will come our way On a quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the years, hold back the years Time calls, time cries, sounds like a friend of mine Time will run to meet, the slick and shiny beat That creeps to me through time While away below, the whirlwinds will blow A pretty nation sleeps in time The beauty of it is We'll wake up to, shake the hand of time In time, only time, in time, only time In time On a quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that will come our way On a quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the tears, hold back the tears In time, only time, we'll speak for time On a quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that will come our way On a quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the tears, hold back the tears In time, only time Quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that will come our way On a quiet night of a white hot day Roll back the years, roll back the years In time, only time, we'll speak for time On a quiet night Hold back the tears to another day Quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the tears, hold back the tears Time, only time, speak for time Quiet night of a white hot day Whisper the things that will come our way On a quiet night of a white hot day Roll back the years, roll back the years In time, only time, speak for time Quiet night of a white hot day Hold back the tears to another day Quiet night of a white hot day Words & music : james kerr, charlie burchill, mel gaynor, derek forbes, michael macneil (c) emi publishing ltd reproduced without permission
