Essra Mohawk - "Making Time Stop"

Pensive lyric with strong melody line from master tunesmith Essra Mohawk - https://www.facebook.com/ESSRAMOHAWK.FanPage - an artist whose work was called "the richest and most unheralded event in American music" by All Music Guide. Her PRIMORDIAL LOVERS was cited in Rolling Stone as being "one of the 25 best albums of all time" and christened by the media as the mother album of "grrrl power."

MAKING TIME STOP

In search of ancient pots of gold
Like secrets we were never told
We fight to make our dreams come true
Time's up before they do
What if the rainbow never ends
I've been around so many bends
I've always been the one who said
I's only just ahead

Now don't you get upset You haven't lost me yet
I just need a little time to reflect

Makin' time stop
I wanna stand still
Makin' time stop
Need some time just to kill
Makin' time stop
Just wanna stop for a little while
Makin' time stop
Need some time just to smile
Would it be such a crime
If we could stop time for a little while

The patient opportunist schemes
The optimist within me dreams
The workaholic sows and reaps
The misisonary sleeps
Days end in night. Night yields the dawn
Begin anew and carry on
Spring brings romance back into fashion
Summer promises passion

Love waits outside the door It takes time to be sure
There was never enough time before

....Chorus X 2....

Makin' time stop stop stop stop
Makin' time stop stop stop
Makin' time stop stop
Makin' time stop
