You kept the ones you traveled with
In packages like they were gifts
You stored them on your cleanest shelf
Leaving no time to use yourself

So take all the time
Take all the time
That you want from me
If you’re lonesome my dear
Take all the time that you need
So take all the time
Take all the time
That you want from me
I don’t need to sleep, so
Take all the time that you need

You brushed the dust off of my shoes
Then polished them to darker hues
You laced them up and tied them tight
Just for to spend with me the night

So take all the time
Take all the time
That you want from me
If you’re lonesome my dear
Take all the time that you need
So take all the time
Take all the time
That you want from me
I don’t need to sleep, so
Take all the time that you need

Down in the valley
I pray for the ones I love
I’m far from the meadow
With sky turning gray above

If I could just let go
Of all of the things I love
Then I could serve you
With all of my heart and head

So take all the time
Take all the time
That you want from me
Take all the time
Take all the time that you need
