Den Miller - All It Took Was Time Lyrics

So the year inflates by one
I don't know where the time has gone
But looking back it don't feel long
It seems like yesterday
A lot of things have changed since then
Some people have been blamed since then
Some things have been explained since then
It adds up to quite a way
But all it took was time
All it took was time
Somebody had a notion and set the train in motion
Then all it took was time
The past is a different country now
What they did then, today we would not allow
The future too is a different town
And we start building that from today
Change is mostly tiny jumps
Not much change from month to month
But just add up those little chunks
It adds up to quite a way
And all it took was time
All it took was time
Somebody had a notion and set the train in motion
Then all it took was time
So nothing to waste in every day
Who knows when each behaviour stays?
Who knows when any change was made?
We only know that they start
People are born and people die
Differences gradually apply
And better times sneak in on the sly over time's gentle arc
And all it took was time
All it took was time
Somebody had a notion and set the train in motion
Then all it took was time
All it took was time
All it took was time
Somebody had a notion and set the train in motion
Then all it took was time
So the year inflates by one
I don't know where the time has gone
But looking back it don't feel long
It seems like yesterday
