I've been waiting for your letter The one you said you sent last week Too many mistakes in the address Life is bittersweet I'm standing at the station Train coming soon I'm told Things get better down the line It's been a long hard road Time keeps slipping away I lost another hour today I was waiting on you, what do I do While my time keeps slipping away? I'm a man of the world Waiting for the night to call 'Cause the night life is the life I live When time means nothing at all So I'm standing on the platform And the train came rolling by It's six o'clock in the morning And the sun's already hanging high It shines on my and says Hey, there, what you going to do today? Well, I'm sure not hanging around this place My time keeps slipping away Time keeps slipping away I lost another hour today I was waiting on you, what do I do While my time keeps slipping away?
