The Time it Takes

Glowing in the evening sky so well, so well
Stars that have already died
Oh well, oh well
They're glowing and we know dear that they fell (x2)

The time it takes to make hearts break
Is the same as for a falling man to fall
The sound it makes:
The bitter call of a log that was sawn off with a saw
A log that was sawn off with a saw

Swimming in the lake - it's like a well, a well
And there're some things I felt I just couldn't tell you
I couldn't tell
And there're some things we believe in and we yell (x2)

The time it takes to make hearts break
Is the same as for a girl to skip a stone
And any chore, or a shirt on the floor
Is enough to make a person feel alone
Enough to make a person feel alone

There're some things we believe in and we yell! (Yell!)
There're some things we believe in and we yell!

The time it takes to make hearts break
Is the same as for you, babe, to walk away
And all it takes is a little shake
By a man or a woman or a grave
A man or a woman or a grave
