ASR Lyrics by Meshell Ndegéocello

The Omnichord Real Book

2023

PART 1

Can't get back the time
You wasted, you wasted
Can't get back the time
We wasted on you
Can't get back the time
You wasted, you wasted

Constantly I wonder
Throught what might have been
Patiently, I'm healing my heart

Can't get back the time
I wasted, I wasted
Can't get back the time
We I on you
Can't get back the time
I wasted, I wasted
Can't get back the time


PART 2

Extraordinary pain
Time has come to take a bow
We're here to set the clock to here and now

Dying cannot be the choice of opposite hands
Let the fertile sea appear to nourish our lands
Feed the people, starve the hate
Learn once more to celebrate
To be born, to live and breathe
Extraordinary pain

Extraordinary pain
Where does the time go?

The more we move, the more we need (moving, get up, moving)
It's never love, no, never
It's never love, no, never
To find a place, a place to be, a place to breathe
It's never love, no, never
It's never love, no, never
When hunger grows we look for peace
It's never love, no, never
We were not born
(I'm not over-reacting)
We were not born to live and breathe
(I'm not over-reacting)
This extraordinary pain
I'm not over distracted
We were not born to live and breathe extraordinary pain

Glad for my broken heart
Be glad
Salve for my broken heart
I know
I know
You know
Sad for my broken heart
I know
I know
You know
I know

Extraordinary pain
Time has come to take a bow
We're here to set the clock to here and now

Constantly
Patiently
Constantly
Gold, the money, land
Patiently
It's never love, no, never
It's never love, no, never
I wonder
Gold, the money, land
Healing my heart
It's never love, no, never
Healing my heart
It's never love, no, never
I wonder
Healing my heart
Healing my heart

Extraordinary pain
