Wrapped Up In Time Lyrics - Vol. 1-happiness Is The Road: Essence - Marillion

Things come wrapped up in time 

Like the past in a present 

Or the perfect line in a song 

They take their time 

And when they're gone 

They take their time with them 

And you can't have them back 

Because the time for them has gone 

And their time has gone with them 

The time for them has gone. 

There's an echo of them 

An echo of the time they were wrapped in 

Sweet or bitter in the memory 

But an echo is all, all I can reach now 

An echo of you 

An echo of you 

An echo of you in your time 

Still echoing 

Like a star in the sky 

Like a star in the sky above me 

And the story of it's life 

Told backwards down this rod of light 

But at it's beginning.. 

Long extinct.
