The Waterboys › Lyrics › Higher in Time

From the mountain is steep, the ditches are deep
The task in hand is making us weep
But here's a promise I intend to keep
Seed it in your mind and say it each night
Before you sleep
We will climb higher in time

You've got a head full of trouble and a ship to build
You believe you won't make it but you know you will
You feel you need your cup refilled, well
Fill it out of mine
We'll drop the defenses, pool our skill
And we will climb higher in time

Well, I've been to the bottom and I've been on the train
I've slept in the gutter with my head in a drain
I've been brutally proud, I've been mortally shamed
But this is not a crime
I'm just learning, my friends that it's all in the game
And we will climb higher in time

Higher in time
Climb higher in time
Climb higher in time
Climb higher in time
