lyrics

Time Slips Away

He was waiting for the truth to dawn, while he dabbled in deceit
Hoping that he’d be reborn, while he generated heat
Like he could leave until tomorrow
The work he should be doing today
Time slips away, time slips away, time slips away, time slips away . . .

Pretty woman liked to play the field, searching for The Man
Didn’t notice that the hourglass was running out of sand
Sometimes it gets a little lonely
Her dreams of love in disarray
Time slips away, time slips away, time slips away, time slips away . . .

They’d been married round 40 years, had the usual ups and downs
Never talking ‘bout their hopes and fears, or the love that kept them bound
Now that he’s gone she keeps rehearsing the things she always meant to say
Time slips away, time slips away, time slips away, time slips away . . .

If I was given just a hundred days to get it together
Would I change my ways?
Could I find some gratitude and grace?
If I had no time to kill, no time to waste . . .

He was haunted by memories of the way she did him wrong
And the anger and the jealousy only weighed his spirit down
He planned to do something about it
He’d get around to it someday
Time slips away, time slips away, time slips away, time slips away . . .

Seems we always got to be prepared for the sniper and his gun
He gets everybody in the end, there’s nowhere we can run
And noone’s prepared to pay the piper
We all want to live another day
Time slips away, time slips away, time slips away, time slips away . . .

If I was given just a hundred days to get it together
Would I change my ways?
Could I find some gratitude and grace?
If I had no time to kill, no time to waste . . .
