The winter brings the snowdrops
The bluebells colour spring
The summer scent of clover
Autumn seed soar on the wind
The time of our lives
And the rhythm of our days
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
They will not wait
Time and tide, they will not wait
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
You've stood on Malin Head
And seen the great Atlantic swell
With the Orca swimming south
Before the northern darkness fell
You've kissed Kintail's Five Sisters
Walking by the Spanteach Hill
Where ancestors tread
Now their voice is quiet and still
They will not wait
Time and tide, they will not wait
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
The chill of the desert dawn
The hot rocks of Yellowstone
You've tramped the Southern Alps
Where Hillary's skills were honed
The Pacific's silver spray
And Samarkànd's golden domes
There are wonders in this world
And there's a joy in finding home
They will not wait
Time and tide, they will not wait
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
The seasons pass so quickly now
And some old friends are gone
But their voices, they all echo
Through life's busy throng
Our lives are but a heartbeat
In an endless song of fate
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
They will not wait
Time and tide, they will not wait
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
The winter brings the snowdrops
The bluebells colour spring
The summer scent of clover
Autumn seed soar on the wind
The time of our lives
And the rhythm of our days.
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
They will not wait
Time and tide, they will not wait
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
They will not wait
Time and tide, they will not wait
Take a moment with the flowers
Time and tide, they will not wait
