Comes a Time - Glen Phillips

There comes a time in life

To pull on your coat and go outside

To taste the vinegar of life, bitter life

To taste a second time, its sweet surprise

Sweet surprise

It’s not that hard to figure it out

When there’s no question, there’s no doubt

I burned an effigy to time, senseless time

To view the miracle, but the wine still was wine

And that was my crime

There is a face in the stone

We let it out to find its form

To shape the testament of will, strongest will

Pride, humility, a bitter pill

Bitter pill

Sweet surrender, oh my Lord

I never thought I’d see

Not surprising, still I find

I’m shaking, crying

But I’m laughing, softly

There comes a time in the life

To pull on your coat and go outside
