By the sunlight on my window
Waking me each day
By the shadows of my dreaming
Fading far away
I can see
Yes, I can see
That the old man who's the keeper of time
Is blinking and a-hiding
He keeps falling far behind the hour
When the mastery of tomorrow
Seems to leave no clue
When the answers are abandoning
Then are long overdue
Can you see?
Can you see?
That the old man who's the keeper of time
Is blinking and a-hiding
He keeps falling far behind the hour
[Instrumental Bridge]
When the years all fall together
In a big parade
And the times of yesterday
Are lost in masquerade
Then you see
Then you see
That the old man who's the keeper of time
Is blinking and a-hiding
He keeps falling far behind the hour
By the sunlight on my window
By the mastery of tomorrow
I can see
Yes, I can see
That the old man who's the keeper of time
He's blinking and a-hiding
He keeps falling far behind the hour
