Time is a Holy Ghost

Tell me again, tell me again
What was that you said?

Neighbor of mine, neighbor of mine
A love that knows no end?

Oh my, my, now a babe’s at your door

Tell me again, tell me again
A love that knows no more

This is the place, this is the place
Given to you to keep

Now you’re white in the face, white in the face
Like the ghost of the barrier reef

Oh my, my, why it’s no hit-and-run

No stepping aside
Hiding your eyes
You see what’s done is done

If it’s love and grace we admire most
Time, as we race, is the holy ghost to find it

Now you won’t you tell me again
Tell me again, what we held so grand?

Neighbor of mine, neighbor to all
Don’t play dumb, the blood’s on your hands

Here you see now, a lamb in the Sun

Neighbor of all, lover of all
The time for that has come

If it’s love and grace we admire most
Time, as we race, is the holy ghost to find it
