lyrics

The Golden Ring Of Time (J.C. Hamill)

Somewhere
On a sandbank
There’s a dark man
And he’s holding a bright golden ring
Then suddenly, without warning
He throws it out into the sea
I didn’t see it land but found it lying on the sand
The morning after

It was light but it was heavy
And it made a peculiar sound
Like angels singing together
It was square and yet perfectly round
I couldn’t understand what I was holding in my hand
But I was curious

And later in the depth of night
Someone turned out all the lights
I heard them creeping underneath
As I pressed into embroidered sheets
They came to take the ring but it was securely hidden
It was then I felt a deep sense of foreboding and forbidden
Foreboding and forbidden, Foreboding and forbidden


Then the dogs howled and the trees broke
And the wind was so loud in my ears
There was lightning something’s happening
A strange looking man has appeared
“I think you have something for me”, he said
“Just take it, leave me be” I said

So I ran back to the sandbank
Hoping there was someone I could tell
But the dark man with the strange eyes
Was shouting his fear in my ear
And suddenly from the East, in came the Orange Beast
Coming towards us

I fell under
While seeing my life flash through my head
On the re-run, how I wonder
Would I do what I did if I knew?
Too late to change my mind
Or turn back the hands of time …….
