Glen Phillips & Toad Lyrics

There comes a time

There comes a time in the life To pull on your coat and go outside To taste the vinegar you'll find, bitter life To taste a second time, its sweet surprise Sweet surprise It's not that hard to figure it out When there's no question, there's no doubt I burned an effigy to time, senseless time To view the miracle, and the wine still is wine (but the water isn't wine) And that is my crime There is a face in the stone We let it out to find its form To shape the testament of will, strongest will Pride, humility, a bitter pill Bitter pill Sweet surrender, oh my Lord I never thought I'd see Not surprising, still I find I'm shaking, crying But I'm laughing, softly There comes a time in the life To pull on your coat and go outside
