Sarah McLachlan - Time Lyrics






Time here,
all but means nothing, just shadows that move across the wall
They keep me company, but they don't ask of me
they don't say nothing at all.
And I need just a little more silence
And I need just a little more time
But you send your thieves to me
silently stalking me
Dragging me into your war
Would you give me no choice in this?
I know you can't resist, trying reopen a sore

Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for

You see love-- a tight, thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold
You have me to hold me
a token for all to see
captured to be yours alone
And I need just a little more silence,
and I just need a little more time
The courage to pull away
there will be hell to pay
the deeper you cut to the bone

Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for

Time here,
all but means nothing,
just shadows that move across the wall
They keep me company,
but they don't ask of me
they don't say nothing at all.

Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for

  1. C.... O....

    Everytime I hear this song I think about when I was living in Germany. I was married to someone that made my life miserable and being in Europe I was at his mercy from the isolation. I left after we got back to the States.

    I need just a little more silence

  28. S.... E....

    I could die peacefully listening to her sing.

  29. A.... M....

    As long as you realize you're singing about the mere common discrimination of a gay man not having any friends, that would save the universe that fast. The rest is from our people's perspective, more of a web of what to elevate oneself in offense in response to the lies that from their perspective it is stolen "miracles" of what they make work against liberal truth as something within spirit that they separate into endless resources as planes to give us this time of their lives, one and all, since we wouldn't normally discriminate as what turned into a global platform of that ability. I am abused and actually way beyond tortured, and without friends, it's the unraveling of a whole 2,000 years of the option of truth of whatever we'll develop during that coming future. p.s.: they're beyond small minded and have very very little intelligence.

    A.... M....

    Huh? I'm pretty sure you need meds and/or many many years of therapy.

  30. M.... S....

    Cette chanson je considère l'une des 7 merveilles du monde, belle, merveilleuse, aimée ... gravée dans mon esprit et dans mon rythme de vie pour toujours, je t'aime Sarah Mclachlan - Time> Brazil.

    Fabulous song!!!
    Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

    The most beautiful song feels like to breathe fresh clean air.LOVE

  65. E.... F....

    Eres bellizima.!!

  66. j.... ....

    @Angela Rambo-Losik: Yeah, interesting. But what about "You send your thieves to me"? Who are "they"? An army of lawyers? Oh well. Another "dirty little secret" ; )

  67. D.... R....

    I interpret the song as her being in an unhappy marriage, that she is cautiously considering divorce, but needs to be left alone to make sure she's making the right decision.

    D.... R....

    Angela Rambo-Losik exactly how I feel

  68. Y.... B....

    I think the best song is're so pure

  69. K.... ....

    I listen to this song and "do what you have to do" and "building a mystery" late at night while I am traveling downtown N.Y.C. I don't know her songs seem to get me at nighttime if you guys can understand that. Love her and her music.

    K.... ....

    Totally understand. She transports me

  70. j.... ....

    I'd gladly listen to this stranded on goddamn Planet Klendathu. I won't go there without Surfacing

  71. j.... ....

    Great writing, although I can't figure shit what it's all about. But that's cool, that's cool

  72. D.... S....

    "BEAUTIFUL" ... DJS - 8/23/13

  73. j.... b....

    I feel you... Taylor Swift has a flat and irritating voice that is devoid of emotion. I will never understand the hype around her. I wish there were more like Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, Jewel, Alanis Morsette, Regina Spektor. Things have changed, and there are no more musicians... only manufactured puppets.

  74. S.... ....

    How come she isn't the best selling female artist on the planet? Why, because there's Britney Spears and Taylor Swift, of course! [not sure whether to laugh or cry . . .]

  75. W.... S....

    I dont know why Sarah isnt the best selling female artist on the planet - she absolutely kicks the shit out of today's Top 40 women without an autotuned note in sight. This is real talent.

  76. S.... S....

    คิดถึงคำพูดของที่รัก..ถ้าไม่มีอดีต(ทำจิตให้ลืม)ก็จะไม่ทุกข์..ถ้าไม่มีอนาคต(ทำติตไม่ให้ฟุ่งซ่าน)ก็จะไม่ผิดหวัง...พยายามอยู่..แต่ไม่เคยททำได้เลย..SCH0609AK..^j^

  77. t.... ....

    AMAZING SONG! one of my faves from this album. love her voice and wish the song was longer... sarah, we need you, please write more songs, or just sing for us, pretty please? im still listening to you in malaysia, always and forever!

  78. S.... ....

    Beautiful song from a beautiful woman. Sarah is one of the finest singer-songwriters of our era.

  79. W.... R....

    This is one her most beautiful songs, may God bless you Sarah for bringing this to us.

  80. T.... ....

    Ethereal perfection.

  81. A.... A....

    Enorme Sarah

  82. a.... a....

    I dedicate this song to my lovely wife Sviatlana.= I love you,

  83. b.... ....

    awaken on a sphere of life
    in an endless ocean of galaxies
    our family free
    our choice our destiny
    together we come
    forever as one
    we are never alone...

  84. D.... ....

    OMG, AMAZING OMAGG!

  85. d.... ....

    man please .............i listen to this song while am in jordan .... looool

  86. S.... ....

    Something about her voice and her music, strikes the inner chords of my hurting heart... Your voice and your music is amazing Sarah McLachlan, thank you for sharing it with the world.

  87. �.... S....

    Ký ức ùa về...

  88. A.... ....

    I absolutely love the lyrics of this song! This along with Trainwreck and Fallen are my top 3 of Sarah.

  89. G.... ....

    I dunno, just my take. Thought it might be interesting to share.

  90. G.... ....

    What really captured my imagination into the whole ego perspective of the song came with the opening words of the song "time here (in the ego) all but means nothing to me, just shadows that move across the wall...they don't say nothing at all...i need a little more silence..." The shadows would be your ego's shadow (the common psyche of all mankind - envy, jealousy, joy, hate...etc). They (the shadows) can't be anymore than a mirror for you...truth lies in the silence of "self" observance.

  91. G.... ....

    This was probably her intended meaning. What I got from it, and what others may get from it that find themselves listening to it after following a similar path, is her/ mine/ everybody (s) relationship with their ego. It controls us by repeatedly bombarding us with reminders of the wrongs we've done and what we must do to remove the suffering that it has caused us. It places us in a constant search for freedom, where and from what we don't know...maybe just to silence the whispers.

  92. S.... C....

    She's been in the back of my mind for ages... Now she's up front....

  93. B.... D....

    Sarah certainly has a way with words.
