Nathaniel Rateliff - Time Stands

For a moment I could wait
To see it fall apart
Every empty bed in every
City I've been
I sit and contemplate
All the moments you said
Time stands in a duel
And I stand for you

What's that you used to say?
Find a love that you can wait for
Or do you feast upon the weak and
Weary of heart?
I can take the pain
But I can't take all the hatred
Laziness of mind and
Simplest of thoughts

Are you just too old
Or too young to carry?
Time stands in a duel
And I stand for you

Now you're pouring out your hate
At every difference you found
You won't even listen
To reason at all
Not questioning your faith
Far be it from me
But you would speak of love while
Tying ones hands

Are you just too old
Or too young to carry?
Time stands in a duel
And I stand for you

Are you just too old
Or too young to carry?
Time stands in a duel
And I stand for you

Now lean and use your weight
That's what a shoulder's made for
Carry all the dead and
Children from here
Curses on the men
And the greed that seems to plague them
I can't raise my hand so I'm
Raising my voice

Are you just too old
Or too young to carry?
Time stands in a duel
And I stand for you

Are you just too old
Or too young to carry?
Time stands in a duel
And I stand for you

Time stands in a duel
And I stand for you

Time stands in a duel
And I stand for you
