Lyrics The Waterboys

The Waterboys

Higher in Time

From the mountain is steep, the ditches are deep

The task in hand is making us weep

But here's a promise I intend to keep

Seed it in your mind and say it each night

Before you sleep

We will climb higher in time

You've got a head full of trouble and a ship to build

You believe you won't make it but you know you will

You feel you need your cup refilled, well

Fill it out of mine

We'll drop the defenses, pool our skill

And we will climb higher in time

Well, I've been to the bottom and I've been on the train

I've slept in the gutter with my head in a drain

I've been brutally proud, I've been mortally shamed

But this is not a crime

I'm just learning, my friends that it's all in the game

And we will climb higher in time

Higher in time

Climb higher in time

Climb higher in time

Climb higher in time
