There Comes a Time
The Honeydrips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There comes a time
When everything is gone
When all the things you worried about are long, long gone.

There comes a time
When all the things you hate
And all the things that trouble you have passed away
There comes a time

There comes a time
When everybody′s dead
When every form of life on Earth is long extinct

There comes a time




The end of the sun
The end of everyone you love so love right now.
