When Time Was A Friend Of Space
Lyrics
When Time Was A Friend Of Space

When time was a friend of space
We all knew we were running in place
When space was a friend of time
A circle and never a line

Now we poison the oceans, spill pain in the seas
So much commotion, so little peace
Misplaced devotion and so much disease
Now that space is no friend of time
Now that space is no friend of time

When time was a friend of space
We all moved in a state of grace
When space was a friend of time
We knew the shape of our minds

Always a spiral, and never, never, never a line
Only now, not ahead or behind
Constantly moving through change,
Presently moving through time
Constantly moving through change,
Presently moving through mind

When time was a friend of space
Distance was measured in days
My eyes could linger on your face
And gaze forever in one place

Now we look to get ahead
And not to get inside
We look so briefly we see
Only the disguise
Impressions flash so quickly
We can't tell the truth from lies
Now that space is no friend of time
Now that space is no friend of time

Always a spiral, and never, never, never a line
Only now, not ahead or behind
Constantly moving through change
Presently moving through time
Constantly moving through change
Presently moving through mind

When time was a friend of space
We all knew we were running in place
When space was a friend of time
A circle and never a line

Now we look to get ahead,
Not to get inside
We look so briefly
We see only the disguise
Impressions flash so quickly
We can't tell the truth from lies
Now that space is no friend of time
Now that space is no friend of time
Now that space is no friend of time
