It's Only Time

If I am ever invited to play that one fun ipod roadtrip game where you pick a topic or genre and everyone chooses a song to fit that topic or genre and the topic or genre is "songs that break your heart, make you cry and fill you with joy all at the same time" then I would choose this song by the Magnetic Fields. I love it. I hate it. I love it. I love it. I never tire of it. Find it somewhere and listen to it. I have it, get it from me. Or search the internet. I haven't the time or the know-how or the energy to do it for you right now. But you will not be sorry. Once, I was mid-conversation with my younger sister and we both had to just stop, hold our hearts in our hands and let our eyes well up when we heard the words Stephin was singing to us. It's that kind of song. Sarah McLachlan's 'I Love You' kind of song. Here are the lyrics: (But you have to hear it to understand)

It's Only Time

Why would I stop loving you
a hundred years from now?
It's only time.
It's only time.

What could stop this beating heart
once it's made a vow?
It's only time.
It's only time.

If rain won't change your mind,
let it fall.
The rain won't change my heart
at all.

Lock this chain
around my hand,
throw away the key.
It's only time.
It's only time.

Years falling
like grains of sand
mean nothing to me.
It's only time.
It's only time.

If snow won't change your mind
let it fall.
The snow won't change my heart,
not at all.

(I'll walk your lands)
I'll walk your lands
(And swim your sea)
And swim your sea

Marry me.
Marry me.

(Then in your hands)
Then in your hands
(I will be free)
I will be free

Marry me.
Marry me.

Why would I stop loving you
a hundred years from now?
