"There Will Come a Time" (lyrics)

Lyrics are as the song was originally recorded plus some more repeats of the Waiting part at the end.  Likely I will shorten the lyrics but the way they appear here is about what they should be.  Likely best to combine last instrumental break and eliminate one Waiting part.

Bold marks the Big Deal part.  I'm not only saying peace will come but I swear it will come.  It's all very well to say in the blog I think it would be best to run over the Republican Party with a lawnmower but there's no jacking around with lyrics as they're real or they're crap.

By my rules, I can't use the lyric if I don't believe it and I do.  What I don't believe is it will come about as a result of anything the military industrial complex is doing.  I do believe eventually people will work up the gumption to put an end to the depravity of one bullshit war after the other, none of which ever accomplish anything except a lot of dead people.


There was no Angeline when I wrote this as I was already doing it or how could I invite her so I wasn't real either ... unless you already know it's possible to dance in sunbeams.

There's no evidence of lyrics anywhere else but maybe there's something written in one of the notebooks.  It's an unusual thing going back and, in effect, covering my own songs in listening to the lyrics and trying to figure out what the hell I was saying, blah, blah.  This article was written by listening to a bit of it, writing down the words, and repeating.

(Ed:  it might have been better if you took some notes when you wrote these things)

I've been noticing that.

Angeline
would you like to go sailing
Angeline
would you dance with the wind
Angeline
would you like to go flying
lift on golden wings
dance with the sun

There will come a time
when the sun shines forever
There will come a time
when there's peace everywhere
There will come a time
of peace, I swear it
I don't hurt no-one
yeah

(Instrumental break)

Angeline
would you like to go sailing
Angeline
would you dance with the wind
Angeline
would you like to go flying
lift on golden wings
dance with the sun

Waiting
waiting for the day
and waiting for the night
You're waiting
waiting for the dark
and waiting for the light
You're waiting

(Instrumental break)

Waiting
waiting for the day
and waiting for the night
You're waiting
waiting for the dark
and waiting for the light
You're waiting

(Instrumental break)

Waiting
waiting for the day
and waiting for the night
You're waiting
waiting for the dark
and waiting for the light
You're waiting
