O the Times

[Verse] O the times They shudder and sigh Ghosts of yesteryears haunt the sky Forgotten roads Broken signs Whispers of night in old pine [Verse 2] Sing the songs of wearied souls In the bend Where the river rolls Lament the dreams buried deep Echoes that sigh while we sleep [Chorus] Perplexified The world's quilt unwinds Threads of sorrow Lovers blind In the shadow where memories bind O the times O the times So unkind [Verse 3] Crows above Cast shadows thin Hope frayed like a widow's hymn Stitched by fate's uneven stitch Paths blurred Destinies switch [Bridge] Underneath the ancient tree Echoes of what could never be Love lost in the autumn's breeze Breathe the air Sorrow's tease [Verse 4] Fallen leaves The winds confess Eons of longing and distress Wanderers seek what they have missed Love's ghost in that parting kiss
