Lyrics

TAM LIN
High time and time's nigh
midnight by the riverside

High time and time's nigh
midnight by the riverside

Do you ever feel like you’ve been crowned
knowing each year the king goes down?
Do ever feel like you've been held
Down in the dell and in the mound 
and neatly bound by a 
million little people underground

Hold tight when I turn into a fire brand 
hold tight—  I'll never burn your hand 
hold tight when i turn a helium balloon
Hold tight-  I’m unbearably light

sky is green i threw it up there
Green silk red satin threads
Moss spinning overhead
And you're coming round again
Feel your head there's no crown
Tiny sound in the mound
down to scale, angry wails 
few escape, few prevail
but all that fits under your pinky nail

Hold tight when I turn into a fire brand 
hold tight—  I'll never burn your hand 
hold tight when i turn a helium balloon
Hold tight— I’m unbearably light

Good to be free. If a little strange.
Without the queen— It's a little plain jane
Let's not forget that
you were her favorite knight
but now you don't sweat the small
and time begins to crawl
cause after all 
there's nothing quite like human sacrifice

High time and time's nigh
midnight by the riverside

High time and time's nigh
midnight by the riverside
