If You Know Time

If You Know Time - Robyn Hitchcock

There＇s a wall inside you

And it wants to smash your head

If you know time

There＇s a door inside you

And it wants to slam you shut

If you know time

If you know time at all

If you know time

There＇s a law inside you

With a real enforcing sheriff

With a badge a gun and claw

There＇s a man inside you

With his fingers at the wheel

He crashes you

No matter how you feel

Now you know time

If you know time at all

If you know time

There＇s a voice inside me

An eraser in my head

You know I love you

You know that＇s what I said

I can walk you through the rain

I can see your face again

If you know time

If you know time at all

Don't you know

In the war that＇s coming

Setting good guys against good

It＇s always a good cause

You fight because you should

You can cut them down like weeds

But you＇ll never make them love you

Don＇t you know time

Don＇t you know

If you know

If you know

If you know time
