lyrics

You've been missing
Missing in your life
Someone to take the pain
And to give it back inside
When you saw me
Yeah I saw it in your eyes
Soon as I turned around
I knew that it was mine

So take a penny
And time aplenty
Oh give it quickly
Unless you long for something
More

Well tell me what you owe
You can save it from the grave
Just sell me your soul
Sell me your soul

Our fate is twisted
And once you hear the rhyme
Just a flick of my hand
And you're right back on the line
You'll come to miss it
Yeah you'll come to find
In the heart of the land
Certain living is a crime

So take a penny
And time aplenty
Oh give it quickly
Unless you long for something
More

Well tell me what you owe
You can save it from the grave
Just sell me your soul
Yeah I thought that you should know
It's like the ministers say
You're not in control
We're not in control

I won't insist it
Yet in the end of times
I'll be sitting right here
Giving guidance by your side
It's expected
It's how it was designed
How can you turn away
From this little light of mine

So give a penny
And time aplenty
Oh give it quickly
Unless you long for something
More

Well tell me what you owe
You can save it from the grave
Just sell me your soul
Yeah I thought that you should know
It's like the ministers say
You're not in control
You should know I ain't your foe
Got higher crowns that I could pray for
I'm not in control
We're not in control

Got higher crowns that I could pray for
Not in control
You should know I ain't your foe
