WON’T GIVE IN TO TIME Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer

(Verse I)
Time, it beats and ticks and moves ahead
Slips through my hands, it falls instead
And I awake in yesterday.
Still, your scent and sound is at my side
As I toss throughout the whole night
So near is the absence of you.

(Chorus)
Past, the past is now my closest friend
That makes you still my own.
The memories comfort and amend
Don’t let them turn to stone.
For now you are but a thought
Your hand still in mine.
I pull back on earth’s old spin
Won’t give into time.

(Verse II)
Sun, the trees and hills pull on the sun
Lakes turn to gold before it’s gone
In spite of night you will remain.
Heart, my heart beats time from our paired lives
Each bridge recalled I take in stride
And cross to wild fields we knew.

(Chorus)

(Coda)
Won’t give in to time
Won’t give in to time
Won’t give in to time
I wake up in yesterday
Won’t give in to time
I pull back on earth’s old spin
