On Borrowed Time

On Borrowed Time - Penelope Houston

Don't tell me I already know

To follow where you want me to go

Don't tell me I already know

To follow where you want me to go

Take me to the alter you can your do what you please

Jesus knows money doesn't grow on trees

Drop your penny candy down the well of hope

Your innocence is swinging from a ten foot rope

In the breeze

Don't tell me I already know

To follow where you want me to go

Don't push me I already know

To follow where you want me to go

To my father's garden down the primrose path

Take me to the banks I can follow your laugh

You promised me a river it's a dry creek bed

The Amazon is burning the Black Seas dead

Watch out for the undertow the tide is turning

Never look back see my bridges all burning down

On my knees and pray the following line

You can't buy heaven on borrowed time

You can't buy heaven on borrowed time

You can't buy heaven You can't buy heaven no

You got to stop

You better look around

Going to listen

Put your ear to the ground

Don't tell me I already know

To follow where you want me to go

Don't touch me I already know

To follow where you want me to go

Barefoot in the kitchen never cut off my hair

Had so many children got to hide them somewhere

Broom is in the closet going to sweep up this world

You'll never find heaven if you silence this girl

Watch out for the undertow the tide is turning

Never look back see my bridges all burning down

On my knees and pray the following line

You can't buy heaven on borrowed time
