Are they the same as ToTo's? If not, give me some snippets to work with.

"Wings Of Time"


My faithful companion
I've lost my way once again
A prisoner of darkness
I let you down my friend

A heart left abandoned takes so long to heal its wounds
Your touch not forgotten
The end of the dream
It comes too soon
In this lonely room
Till I leave this world
Always know that

I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time

The road that I travel
Don't know which way I should turn
Till I find the answer
Know that the fire within me will always burn

Angel of mercy, please
Why so much pain?
I cry for forgiveness
I'm the destitute man
Who still remains
It's so hard to explain
Till I leave this world
Always know that

I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time

Sometimes I feel just like crying
I can't turn my back
All these years I've been trying
A vision of you keeps reappearing to me
You can't blame yourself
Just reach out your hand and believe

[Instrumental break]

We sail in dark waters
Lord give me some peace of mind
Temptation before me
Ahead lies the tower of truth that I must find
To you I will climb
Till I leave this cruel world far behind
Always know that

I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time
[repeats 2x]

Not the Toto song. It starts

"The wings of time will bring me my angel,
the wings of time will bring me you,
sail on sail on my Mary,
sail on till summer is through"

The wings of time will carry me over
The wings of time will carry through
And the wing of time of time will bring me my angel
The wings of love will bring me you

Sail on, Sail on my deary
Sail on, Sail on 'til summer's through
At harvest time in in candi-o-heim (sp?)
I shall come back home to you

Then will the willow cease his weeping
Then will our child of love be born
Then will the kiss of sorrow's parting
Be sweeter still than ever before

Then take my song
It is my promise
And hold close
Through nights so long
Time shall not part
This heart still ocean
Nor still the love
That I have born

Oh lowly, lowly whisper lowly
And lowly, lowly, now be still
And sleep and ream
Of our tomorrow
And let my song
Your heart fulfill

The wings time will carry me over
The wings of time will carry me through
And the wings of time
will bring me my angel
The wings of love
Will bring me you

WINGS OF TIME
 Peter Yarrow, Elizabeth Yarrow
© 1972

The wings of time will carry me over
The wings of time will carry me through
And the wings of time will bring me my angel
The wings of love will bring me you

Sail on, sail, sail on my Mary
Sail on, sail on 'til summer is through

At harvest time in Candiohi
I shall come back home to you

And will the willow cease his weeping?
Then will our child of love be born
Then will the kiss of sorrows parting
Be sweeter still than ere before?

Then take my song, it is my promise
And hold it close through nights so long
Time shall not part this hearts devotion
Nor still the love that I have born

Oh lowly, lowly, whisperoly
And lowly, lowly now be still
And sleep and dream of our tomorrow
And let my song your heart fulfill

The wings of time will carry me over
The wings of time will carry me through
And the wings of time will bring me my angel
The wings of love will bring me you.

Kandiyohi is a county in Minnesota - is that what he's referring to?
Nice song, by the way.

The first fish I ever caught, a northern pike, came out of Lake Kandiyohi; we were fishing with my uncle, who lived near there. Approx 60 years ago.
