Talk Talk - Time It's Time Lyrics






Nobody knows how long
Rustling leaves unrhyme
Lullaby breeze unsung
Babel of dreams unwinds in memory

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
And love is only sleeping
Wrapped in neglect
Time it's time to live

Kissing a grey garden
Shadow and shade
Sunlight treads softly

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
Contempt is ever breeding
Trapped in itself
Time it's time to live

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
The wicked and the weeping
Ramble or run
Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living

Now that it's over
Rest your head

    to quote another 80's song... "oh, oh it's magic"

  4. R.... J....

    what a voice i just melt when i hear you sadly you be missed in the world xo rosie

  5. r.... r....

    christ this song is so good

  6. S.... P....

    Adoro talmente tanto questo pezzo da volerlo al mio funerale. Non è triste, come cosa, è perchè lo ritengo stupendo, come lo era la voce e il talento di Mark. Grande artista sottovalutato ma mai dimenticato.

  7. T.... W....

    This is the music I want played at my funeral

  8. M.... D....

    What a song, overlooked by many, absolute classic piece of musical history.

    Nobody knows how long
    Rustling leaves unrhyme
    I'm sorry
    Lullaby breeze unsung
    Babel of dreams
    Unwinds in memory
    As bad as bad becomes
    It's not a part of you
    And love is only sleeping
    Wrapped in neglect
    .
    Time it's time to live,
    Time it's time to live through the pain
    Time it's time to live
    Now that it's all over
    Time it's time to live,
    Time it's time to live through the pain
    Now that it's over,
    Now that it's over
    .
    Kissing a grey garden
    Shadow and shade
    Sunlight treads softly
    As bad as bad becomes
    It's not a part of you
    Contempt is ever breeding
    Trapped in itself
    .
    Time it's time to live,
    Time it's time to live through the pain
    Time it's time to live
    Now that it's all over
    Time it's time to live,
    Time it's time to live through the pain
    Now that it's over,
    Now that it's over,
    Now that it's over,

    As bad as bad becomes
    It's not a part of you
    The wicked and the weeping

    Time it's time to live for living
    Time it's time to live

    Now that it's all over

    Now that it's over,
    Now that it's over

    Now that it's over, now that it's over......farewell Mark, you did it all.

  11. J.... M....

    Mark Hollis chingón your music un eternity bravo

  12. V.... L....

    My ultimate band 👏👏👏👏

  13. E.... A....

    RIP you legend

  14. J.... O....

    Nice. Phenomenal song :-)

  15. D.... C....

    Got to wonder at the people who dislike this song. Why?

  16. S.... B....

    One of the greatest bands and so underrated and unknown to so many... this song transcends music and creates a euphoric atmosphere which penetrates. The only other band that has ever done this to me was The Moody Blues. Fantastic music that evolved into post rock. Genius.

  17. D.... L....

    Thanks for all the beautiful songs Talk Talk.

  18. P.... ....

    Celestial...esto es realmente místico y reparador. Una razón para seguir. Gracias Mark. Gracias. Te amamos siempre, siempre dondequiera que estés, vives y haces vivir 🌌🌻✨🌻✨🌻🌌

  19. C.... D....

    Capolavoro assoluto. Grazie Mark Hollis.

  20. K.... ....

    what a fantastic voice this gentleman had its so sad he has passed away at such a young age

  21. l.... ....

    We play Talk Talk on my Classic Rock station KZFX. Z-93.7 in the High Desert of California. Find us on Alexa, TuneIn, myTuner and Facebook. I was music director when Colour of Spring came out and I knew then a new music genre was born...We play from Color of Spring onward including his only solo LP.

    l.... ....

    Cheers! From England.

  22. Y.... V....

    He was ahead of his time,. RIP you beautiful man.

  23. G.... L....

    If ever I am feeling sad, all I need is to hear "time is time" and happiness returns

  24. A.... F....

    That single piano at the start gets me every time.

  25. S.... M....

    Beautiful music.

Farewell dear Mark, I'll love you until my own death ... 💔💔❤❤❤

  35. c.... e....

    Will always be a poignant song for me. Played it when my dog died, it's like a lulably. The following week Mark Hollis died. Comforting, hopeful, a twist of sadness and reflection. Thank you Mark for the music that no one else could ever write.

    Now that it's over...Mark, you died as enigmaticaly as you lived.Your voice,your music and your lyrics were beautiful and unique.They seemed to voice all the despair and joy and yearning of centuries of youth.Anyone who could create songs such asApril 5th,Time is time,Its getting late in the evening and I believe in you, has to have viewed the celestial .Requiescet in pace mark.

  52. s.... k....

    One of my fav Talk Talk tracks just sublime in its haunting beauty. RIP Mark Hollis what a visionary you were you leave a legacy to be proud of. Thank you for the music now rest in Eden

  53. c.... ....

    I'm 59 and I'm going through some real severe personal issues that have been thrust on me. I've followed talk talk since the earliest of days I'm their career and listening to their music has helped me so much, and then I hear that we have lost Mark. I can't stop the tears from welling up anymore :-(

    c.... ....

    I am not far behind you in years but absolutely right there with you in regards to Talk Talk's influence on you when things are shit. You are not alone in shedding a few tears this week mate. chin up!

    c.... ....

    Your not alone there I'm 51 and have had a pretty shitty life .but talk talk have healed me through a lot .listening to them now as I type as I'm feeling pretty shit but talk talk is helping .fight the fight .

    c.... ....

    Life always gets better,hope is around the corner. For me it's Jesus love,and Mark surely sings about it in a very personal way. Parents death,job loses,three divorces ECT,Jesus and Talk Talk are still there,enjoy life look up.

    c.... ....

    To all of you here who have struggled with depression and other issues ,I can relate ,as I’ve been there.I genuinely hope you all find peace,I’ve found it after a fashion ,but life still feels a trial sometimes,anyhow best wishes.

  54. D.... ....

    The inimitable and enigmatic Mark Hollis. Rest in peace.

  55. L.... V....

    On a day like today I do not know where I would be without YouTube. For 35 years I have listened to Talk Talk I never really thought about it I just assumed that Mark Hollis would outlive me.

    💔🙏🎶🎶🎶

    L.... C....

    A few Talk Talk songs are Requiems. Thats one of them. So is I beleive in you, Inheritence and Ascention day. After 6 months... Talk Talk on you tube starts to look like one. Shame. It should not.

  65. C.... L....

    So sad, R. I. P.

  66. J.... M....

    So sweet, miss you forever Mark Hollis.

  67. A.... G....

    My funeral music. And I hope my family dances in the aisles. I'll be dancing while I look down on them - joyously.

  68. D.... B....

    Couldn't believe the news today , I guess like so many we always felt there was a very small chance of some new music.
    Heck you left us with a back catologue of pure genius.
    Regretfully when its time its time.

  69. B.... O....

    Greatest album of all time. Period. This is the album God plays in heaven.

    B.... O....

    then when its time for a change he plays spirit of eden

  70. M.... Y....

    RIP, Mark. So, so sad. This song is one of my favourites and so appropriate.

  71. S.... C....

    In a hundred years, people from all around the globe will still be coming to listen to this gorgeous music. That is a marvellous comfort, even though today I am unspeakably sad. Rest your head.

    S.... C....

    You're totally right!

    S.... C....

    Hey ....the world is a sadder place without this amazing man and band .... you have made my life a better place to live in....rip mark Hollis ....

  72. j.... ....

    May he promptly realize the Spirit of Eden

  82. S.... G....

    Wonderful song. Spent many hours listening to this in my angst laden youth. RIP mark hollis

  83. a.... b....

    Well, a few hours have passed since the news broke of Marks Passing (apologies for the swear words on the earlier post). If you have come to this song, you know why... One single song in an entire repertoire that proved beyond any reasonable doubt Mark truly had the voice of an Angel. Your musical genius will live on . off for another good cry.....

    a.... b....

    @Gladwyn Scott Music I don't know. I am still in shock and know this loss will be felt for a long, long time, probably each and every time I spin a track (which is quite often). I'll check out your demo.

    a.... b....

    @MrPink Thanks, I hope it seems relevant. I know what you mean about track by track, I played After The Flood yesterday for the first time since the news about Mark, and I just sat there in this inexplicable state of petrification. This music was so very important, yet so tender at the same time.

    a.... b....

    I’m a very cynical 61 year old,not much shocks me now,but I was truly stunned when I read the awful news,much the same last year with Mark E Smith.However as the weeks go by I have started to feel how lucky I have been to listen to both of their incredible back catologues ,and still be amazed at the genius of them both .What with Bowie in 2016 ,true talent is getting harder to find .My advice enjoy your faves while you can ,tomorrow is not guaranteed ! Rip to all three mentioned here and all the other stars who passed recently.P.S excuse my soapboxing,if there is such a word.

    a.... b....

    @MrPink what we do, is we keep sharing his music so that his wish that he made music that would be listened to in 25 years time, stays true

    a.... b....

    @Julie Blackstock That's exactly what we do. I just hope that there are some treasures that we have not heard, rather like when Michael Hedges died. I am just now at the point to where I can listen and sing to Mark's work without completely coming apart at the seams. Time dampens the hurt, but we never forget.

  84. K.... 9....

    Mark.....Thank You R. I. P

  85. F.... g....

    Sublime RIP Mark Hollis

  86. L.... P....

    Mark Hollis - never to be forgotten. X
