I'm lost in a circus of darkness
But does the morning come too soon
I don't believe these things before my eyes
Clocks are the chiming out of tune

And time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason

All my selfish years of waiting
I'm exhausted and possessed
I was born yet I must die
Is this life second best?

And time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason

Why do the hours count the days
As the days alter the years
Oh, I wait around oh so long
One thousand days

Give me a chance to see my conscience
Wait around to hear me right
Seconds passing by my window
Pull the blind and show the light
Time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason
Time is the reason
