There Comes a Time
Trolls Cottage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hard times at the wrong time
Wrong place at the right time
Sometimes that's your very best time
But that can also be your last time
Friends making sure your all right
It seems like that's the best kind
Road block, stopped with red eyes
And now I'm walking down a fine line
Chopping wood for these cold nights
Writing down my mind by candle light
These times can be hard to come by
Alone again and now it's your time it's my time

Time to laugh there's a time to cry
Time to live and there's a time to die
Time to wait and not act out of haste
There comes a time when we must decide

Right night with the right vibe
So staying up late talking all night
So much to learn so much to say... Stay...
All the way until the sunrise
Watch the birds take flight
Away we go, until the next time
Watch the birds take flight
As nightime transitions into daylight

Time to laugh there's a time to cry
Time to live and there's a time to die
Time to wait and not act out of haste
There comes a time when we must decide

Hard times at the wrong time
Wrong place at the right time
Sometimes that's your very best time
But that can also be your last time
Friends making sure your all right
It seems like that's the best kind
Road block, stopped with red eyes
And now I'm walking on a fine line
Chopping wood for these cold nights
Writing down my mind by candle light
These times can be hard to come by
Make some noise this is our time

Time to laugh there's a time to cry
Time to live and there's a time to die




Time to wait and not act out of haste
There comes a time when we must decide
