Chapel Garden - Twenty Years Lyrics

The black gives way to grey
They've all turned and walked away
I long for time, most unusual
I've never felt more rushed
I've been running but ain't caught up
I long for time, it's so typical
As the clock continues moving
I see the shadows from the hand
Of the time I keep abusing
A friend

20 years have come and gone
I'll defend all that I feel
I'll pretend that this isn't real
20 years have come and gone
I'll invest in what isn't real
I'll protect what I cannot fear
It's real, it's real, it's real
Oh yeah yeah

The river's banks are high
My cup is empty, thoughts are dry
Damn these walls, it's the usual
I chose without much choice
I've found God but who am I
An olive branch to the juvenile
As the clock continues moving
I see the shadows from the hand
Of the time I keep abusing
A friend

20 years have come and gone
I'll defend all that I feel
I'll pretend that this isn't real
20 years have come and gone
I'll invest in what isn't real
I'll protect what I cannot fear
Oh, it's real, it's real
