Father Time, look what's become of me
Slowly you stripped away all the possibilities
Now I'm fragile and old
I'm growing cold
This live of mine is incomplete
Look a cliff, I think I'll leap
Better to take the plunge
Than live a life on the run
For time has swept away
All the joys of the day
As silent as a thief in the night
You came and stole my sight
Now I see only shades of gray
Standing in the rains of decay
Gone are the years of yesterday
All I have are memories of a life survived
Of a life where happiness was deprived
So Father Time please make my time on this earth short
I'm tired of the way you distort
I welcome your friend, the reaper
The very first keeper
