Life In The Time - Ben Howard

Lyrics by：Ben Howard/Mickey Smith

Composed by：Ben Howard/Mickey Smith

Produced by：Nathan Jenkins (Bullion)

How was I to know

Kinship there in the reverie

It's a climbing wind

We go through two by two

Not asking why

How was I to sing

Happens all of the time

They say

You and I were supposed to know each other

Better than the clouds these days

It's a maddening century

Clad in

Honest always

Life in the time of captivity

Love in the time of sanctuary

Life in the time of captivity

Life in the time of singing songs

How was I to know

How was I to know

Kinship there in the reverie

Guess it goes to show

We don't speak

Half-truths each

When we have the day

It's a climbing wind

We go through two by two

Not asking why

It was all a show then

Blue river true

Running through you always

Life in the time of captivity

Love in the time of sanctuary

Life in the time of captivity

Life in the time of singing songs

How was I to know

How was I to know

Some go out to Rikers in a moment's grace

I was hanging on coattails

Fare thee wells

All that jiving around

Guess it goes to show

We don't speak half-truths each

When we have the day
