lyrics

The grass grows long in my backyard
The days grow long
And I don't really know how to cope with all this time

There's all this time
There's all this time
My days seem to ebb away like the tide
And all I'm left with is all this time

All along the coast up here
The seaweed is rotting on the beach
The smell of it, it burns my eyes
It makes me feel like everyone has died
The ocean gave the seaweed away
It was tired of carrying all of that excess weight
And sometimes it gives, and sometimes it takes
So why won't it take my time away?

There's all this time...

There's a boat, it's floating on the harbour
Floating in spite of its poor owner
The seas were too wild, the boat capsized
The man left to float alone, he died
He died alone, he died alone
Because he couldn't keep himself afloat
He said his goodbyes on that cold strange night
And he died with the moon as his only light

And he said
There's all this time...
