It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To get the titanic turned back around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby you're not going down
It takes more than you've got right now
Give it time
What's this walking thru' my door
I know I've seen the look before
Sometimes in faces on the street
Sometimes in the mirror looking back at me
You can't fix this pain with money
You can't rush a weary soul
You can't sweep it under the rug, now honey
It don't take a lot to know
(Chorus)
Now it may not be over by morning
But Rome wasn't built in a day
You can name this thing a thousand times
But it won't make it go away
Let me put my arms around you
And hold you while you weep
We've been talking and talking
I'm sick of this talk
And it's nothing that won't keep
(Chorus)
No you can't fix this pain with money
You can't rush a weary soul
You can't sweep it under the rug now honey
It don't take a lot to know
(Chorus)sunken ships rest
upon the ocean floor
where i've made my home
to dodge the draft once more
there once was a time when one could flee to the north
but canada's not what she used to be
boycott the war, well she could not afford to
thanks to the new american queen
swim with me
and we'll escape all the troubles of the present age
finally free
the mermaids teach us
how to breathe beneath
the line that now divides
action from apathy
swim with me
and we'll escape all the troubles of the present age
finally free
