With a strong hint of gospel, powered by Jonny Dyke’s piano and Hammond organ and Matt’s soulful vocal and guitar solos, After All This Borrowed Time muses on life’s bigger issues with a beautifully excecuted backing track and a lyric which at different times touches on love and loss, prosperity and greed and the state of the environment.

lyrics

After All This Borrowed Time (Taylor)

A life is lost in a heartbeat
And only love survives
Innocence is stolen
Everybody pays the price

A dying breath, a baby born
A life renewed, another torn
We pick up all that’s left behind
And carry on

And after all the heartache
Comes a wake-up call
You wont satisfy your pride
By taking another fall

And for every heart that’s broken there’s another soul awoken,
After all this borrowed time the whole story unwinds,

In all accepted wisdom
They say manners make the man
Success is always measured
By the pennies in his hand

A lucky break, a dream come true
A big mistake, a curse on you
We count on all that’s left behind
And carry on

You put it all on diamonds
Now we’re ruby red
You wont satisfy your hunger
By stealing all the bread

The thorn in everybody’s side
We can’t contain the rising tide
So find yourself an alibi
Until it’s gone

Nothing left to conquor
Nothing to sell
You wont satisfy your thirst
By drinking dry the well
