Lyrics The Stranglers

The Stranglers

Relentless

The ending of the day

brings the calm that you've been waiting for

You can't wait to close your eyes,

fall into the black and disappear.

Me I've always found it hard

switching off my head

and tuning out the noise.

If there's a better way

i'm all ears tell me now

If I could turn back the days

and the years

I'd do it now (that's my vow).

Relentless time (got to find a way to face it)

Relentless time.

Days whether good or bad

chase the months away

Peeling off the calendar

And us, all that we can do is

dig down into the night best we can.

I saw my love today

she's looking old but so am I

I wonder if she could say how long it's been

since that smile (quite a while).

The king sat upon his throne waved his hand at the sea

Time made a fool of him and everything he tried to be (same with me).
