A Girl Called Mercy - Time Ruins Everything Lyrics

A wish
A life in the pipeline
A dream of tomorrow
You'll have your children here
Plant your garden here
And you wait
For it all to grow

You get a call
And she stands in your room
Your lovely Madonna
And then she goes again
Leaves you a broken man
Until you know
You've still got years to go

You catch your breath for an instant
You put all your projects on hold
You look away for a moment
And suddenly you're old

Look
They filled up the duck pond
They're building a warehouse
Right where you used to live
Now you're a fugitive
In this place
That you once called home
We wither, one and all

You catch your breath for an instant
You put all your projects on hold
You look away for a moment
And suddenly you're old

You catch your breath for an instant
You put all your projects on hold
You look away for a moment
And suddenly you're old

Come on in
We've been waiting for you
We'll make room in our circle
No need to give us your name
For we are all the same
Like ivy on the wall
