The smell of man that now scents your wings   and with that, brings a change in things   Banished forever from the sacred nest   On your snow-white breast    I feel there's still unrest      I said, hey, darlin' one    Your time has come   Hey, darlin' one       Five hundred midnights since have passed   Since I held you fast    You were safe at last    Wax burnt my finger like a clear blue flame   So young and tame    I was to blame      N' I call your name, darlin' one   Your time has come   I said hey, darlin' one   Your time has just begun      I cupped my hands around you   and I swore you would fly    My tears fell through the dirt   as I heaved you to the sky      and I heard, "Darlin' one   Your time has come   Your time has come   Hey, darlin', darlin', darlin' one"      Hey, darlin' one, your time has come.
