~time~
when i was naive and young
held my tinder hand
walking through its sand
~time~
defined my teenage years
promises that were made
giving time away
~time~
took me to the middle age
where the clock had a face
that frowned at its waste
~time~
says old now is what i am
making up timely demands
as it jerks me by the hand
~time~*
gives itself away
then comes back for more to take
time for times own sake
when i was naive and young
held my tinder hand
walking through its sand
~time~
defined my teenage years
promises that were made
giving time away
~time~
took me to the middle age
where the clock had a face
that frowned at its waste
~time~
says old now is what i am
making up timely demands
as it jerks me by the hand
~time~*
gives itself away
then comes back for more to take
time for times own sake
