about

A little ditty about time

lyrics

v1
I was watching Time
doing all the hard work
All the busy work
I had my feet up
watching her march by

That’s just Time
She’s a heavy lifter
She's a mean shape shifter
She’ll clear your room out
with a wink of her eye

Chor
You won’t get overtime, or out from undertime
Don’t wait until halftime, to start playing doubletime
You cannot lend your time, you can only spend your time
Can’t beg or borrow time from anyone

Things‘ll get better I heard them say
You just need Time to wash that pain away

v2
But Time, she was doing all the hard work
All this other work
Had to water all the whiskers
Burst all the blisters
Had to paint all the faces gray
And then carry all our bodies away

Chor
You won’t get overtime, or out from undertime
Don’t wait until halftime, to start playing doubletime
You cannot lend your time, you can only spend your time
Can’t beg or borrow time from anyone

Things‘ll get better, I heard them say
You just need time to wash that pain away…..

v3
But poor ole Time
She was doing all the hard work,
All our dirty work
Plucking rings from hands, breaking up bands,
Eating all the cans, counting all the sand
Then pouring that all that sand into our eyes
All while singing you a sweet lullaby

v4
Sweet Lady Time
You're doing too much hard work
Stop doing all that hard work
Put that shovel down, cause it ain’t my time
Put your feet up and rest with me awhile

Chor
You can’t get overtime, or out from undertime
Don’t wait until halftime, to start playing doubletime
You cannot lend your time, you can only spend your time
Can’t beg or borrow time from anyone
