Father time, I'm running late
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires You were once my friend
Now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourgla**
No time to lose, no time to choose Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one
Not even me An enemy I can't defend
My final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place I can't get any younger
Time has brutal hunger Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one, waits for no one
Not even me
