LYRICS AND LINER NOTES:
'Poor Time' is a song of love, loss and redemption, sung to Datson Hughes
twangling dulcimers under the sparse, endless bush night sky; a campfire
​ tale told by nobles turned beggar, too weary now and worn down to lie to themselves.

1. Poor TIme

Poor time, riding down
    stolen nights on stealth black horses

Road north runs right
    runs right by her heart

It’s not what I think
    that you should be believing

Old man, drunk fool
    he was once king like they say

After the silk and gold
    after the silk and gold are stripped away

Get's it so right and so wrong
    Charlie sing that old song

Forgotten, forgotten, forgotten
    but not gone

God says, take no living
    living prisoners

So hard times are over
    if they find us

It’s not my hope
    that you should be breathing

Things pass, future tense
    back to the beginning

Poor time, riding down stolen nights
    on stealth black horses

Poor time, riding down stolen nights
    on stealth black horses
