It went around the block
And through the grapevine
Something ‘bout a guy
Who said he wanted you.
The rumour on the mill
is you want a break now
Tell it to me girl
coz I dunno what to do:

I’m hearing that you’re giving me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time
I’m fearing that you’re lending me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time.

I couldn’t sleep at night
coz I had to know girl.
Met you in the morning
at the river café.
You talked about your ma
and a guy named Peter 
Tapping on your phone
like I’m not even there.

I’m hearing that you’re giving me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time
I’m fearing that you’re lending me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time.
Borrowed time 
Borrowed time 

There’s something in your eye
and I go to hold you
feeling that your loving
could be slipping away.
I guess I kinda knew
but your turnin’ told me
something on your mind
that you wanted to say.

I’m hearing that you’re giving me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time
I’m fearing that you’re lending me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time.

It’s getting pretty late
And the time has come girl
tell it to me straight
let me know what to do.
The love that you’re giving’s
going round in circles
Running round my heart
just making me blue.

I’m hearing that you’re giving me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time
I’m fearing that you’re lending me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time.

Wind it back now
Set me straight now
Give me peace now
From the top now

I’m hearing that you’re giving me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time
I’m fearing that you’re lending me nothing but
bye bye borrowed time.
Borrowed time
Borrowed time
Borrowed time.

Borrowed Time

Now we fall in that vein of gold
In the hourglass of our love.
We lose our ground as the world around
Comes raining down from above.
Down to the place
Where our love has gone
And longing will fade at last,
Soft on the mound of fallen time
Where our love is a memory past.

Oh my love...
We are mirages, in the hourglass.
Oh mirages, now fading fast.
Mirages, in a world of love
Shifting through the hourglass.

On that mound of the fallen time
In the hourglass of our love,
I hold your hand as the golden sands
Rain down on us from above 
And while you hope
That I’ll understand
And mellow with the moon,
You hold your heart illusion bound
While I am a lover marooned.

Oh my love...
We are mirages, in the hourglass.
Oh mirages, now fading fast.
Mirages, in a world of love
Shifting through the hourglass.

I yearned for love, I prayed that love
Would soften a way to my heart.
To turn the sun where the shadows run
And banish the cold and the dark.
Yet all I am
Is a faint mirage
Fashioned in light of your dream;
Longing to love, and longing to leave,
Held forever by the walls unseen.
Held forever by the walls unseen.

Mirages

It's coming on to midnight 
Slippin' in the moonlight
Trippin' in the gaslight
But. My. Girl. Won't. Talk.

Break it down.

Oh, girl so fine, speak your mind, speak your mind,
Baby, girl, give your time, to make a sign, make a sign.
I thought you were mine, and we were fine, superfine
But your out, gone a mile, in your mind, in your mind.

Shake it down now
Let it out now
What you got now
Where you at now

Running over midnight
But we had a love fight
Iddy biddy love fight
Now my girl won’t talk

Oh, girl so fine, speak your mind, speak your mind,
Baby, girl, give your time, to make a sign, make a sign.
Just find the time to speak your mind, speak your mind
Or we’re back on our own, all alone, on the roam.

Shake it down now
Let it out now
What you got now
Where you at now

Stopping in the lamplight
Dollar past the midnight
Giving me the green light
Oh my God you’re hot.

Good Lord!

Running over midnight
Kissing in the moonlight
Giving me the greenlight

gunna burn me know

Oh Fun-k

Running over midnight
Kissing in the moonlight
Giving me the greenlight
Oh Fun-k

FunK

I rumbled out at night, one summer in the heat
My heart was running with the thunder over me. 
You took me by the hand, you said no mortal man
Could douse the flames, of your wildfire …
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow! 

I'm fired up for love! Oh honey, can't you see
My heart is burning when you're holding onto me. 
Your eyes are flashing low, desire rising – Oh!
I'm burning girl, in your wildfire ...
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow! 

I took you to my home, the heavens rumbling low
The sky came down lashing lightning on my soul. 
I felt my heart on fire, your flames were rising high
You burned me girl, with your wildfire ...
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow! 

Your heat was all around, you rose without a sound,
You warned your love would burn the good men down. 
You took your time to go, I whispered that I know
A love like yours, was a wildfire
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow!
Wildfire glow! 

Now the day is light, your fire's outta sight:
My burning girl, bringing magic to the night.
Somewhere all alone? Or burning up a beau?
Farewell my girl, with that wildfire
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow! 
Wildfire glow!

Wildfire
