Lyrics Richie Havens

Richie Havens

Three Day Eternity

You know the reason you act the way you do

And so do I, and so do I babe

I've seen the little things

You've never shown me to

Why should I cry babe.

Had you only heard me calling

From the rainbows nimbo of now

Where you never let me take you

Halfway to some strange power.

You can tell the hour that comes

Bringing all that we can borrow

So close your eyes to the hands

Upon the clock

There is no time, no such thing as time babe.

You sit so closely to the door

Counting on the knock

There are no signs babe.

If you could only see the thousands

Of the days I'm standing in between

All because you hold my hand so tightly

As we both walk and we laugh.

We talk all about tomorrow

We laughed about it, tomorrow.

We talked about it, tomorrow

We laughed about it, tomorrow.

We talked about it, tomorrow...
