It should have been a quiet April night in Monterey The people at the poolside were no fools but it was just another day The unexpected happens, that's the best that I can say [Instrumental Break] He should have been at home or playing quietly in the park We all remembered after when the laughter left the light and all went dark We get our life from water but a drop can drown a spark "In my end is my beginning," that's what Eliot said But my grandad only said, "You're a long time dead" I don't believe in could have or in would have or in should A life's a thing entire however dire the circumstances or our mood And when it's over there's no call to deem it bad or good Time, time, oh, after and before Time, time, oh, what's behind the door Time, time, oh, wait for us no more Time, time, oh, after and before Time, time, oh, what's behind the door Time, time, oh, wait for us no more
