SINGER: Simple Minds

SONG:White Hot Day

Instrumental version called bass line
In time, only time, speak for time, in time
Time calls, time cries, sweet friend of mine
time could be a place, a spirit and a face
teardrops through time
while away below, the whirlwinds will blow
a pretty nation speaks in time
the beauty of it is, to waken up to
shake the hand of time
In time, only time, we'll speak for time
on a quiet night of a white hot day
whisper the things that will come our way
on a quiet night of a white hot day
hold back the years, hold back the years
Time calls, time cries, sounds like a friend of mine
time will run to meet, the slick and shiny beat
that creeps to me through time
while away below, the whirlwinds will blow
a pretty nation sleeps in time
the beauty of it is
we'll wake up to, shake the hand of time
In time, only time, in time, only time
in time
on a quiet night of a white hot day
whisper the things that will come our way
on a quiet night of a white hot day
hold back the tears, hold back the tears
in time, only time, we'll speak for time
on a quiet night of a white hot day
whisper the things that will come our way
on a quiet night of a white hot day
hold back the tears, hold back the tears
In time, only time
quiet night of a white hot day
whisper the things that will come our way
on a quiet night of a white hot day
roll back the years, roll back the years
in time, only time, we'll speak for time
on a quiet night
hold back the tears to another day
Quiet night of a white hot day
hold back the tears, hold back the tears
time, only time, speak for time
quiet night of a white hot day
whisper the things that will come our way
on a quiet night of a white hot day
roll back the years, roll back the years
in time, only time, speak for time
quiet night of a white hot day
hold back the tears to another day
quiet night of a white hot day
