Lyrics
MAKE RIGHT THE TIME Hang tight the nightingale Sings though her body’s frail Songs where her feathers fail To make right the time Black veils and evening gowns And ashes where we all fall down For the sake and slice of holy ground Make right the time The wine’s all watered down with tears So the kid’s sniff violets off of mirrors And dance til visions reappear To make right the time The Earth’s on a string of beads Just one prayer on the rosary A single voice, a single: “Please, Make right the time” If only just a kind hello Like shadow-paint of ice on snow Softens both the friend and foe To make right the time Every moment has a face Eyes of purpose, lips of place To know and speak of only grace And to make right the time Sleep tight oh nightingale It’s only just the winds that wail Familiar tunes and foreign tales To make right the time They bring me dreams of jasmine tea To sip through all indignity Fragrant as to say for me: Make right the time The only gift that’s handed down Is the gift to grow from muddy ground So plant your feet and place the crown And make right the time For the gone and to the moved Unresigned and unapproved I offer only this to you: Make right the time Copyright 2003.
