Time - time is all you have
You can't see what's beyond now and no one can take you there
Time is a gentle thief - taking what you used to be
Years grow shorter now - you look down at the world
from your outpost and you feel kind of lost
Time - time is all you get, so you make up the best
Imagination will take you there
So you shape the world, walk the path with open eyes
From the cradle to the one last smile
You you look down at the world from your outpost
and you feel kind of lost
A moment of clarity on the train home
Here we are like islands on our own
Last days of summer bringing blue skies and more pain
Oh no! - It's just time that leads us on.......
Time - time can be your friend
Time can mend a broken heart
Time can tear dear old friends apart
Time is a one way track - this is now We can't go back
Still we hurry down that lane
You look down at the world from your outpost
and you feel kind of lost
A moment of clarity on the train home
Here we are - all like islands on our own
Last days of summer, bringing blue skies and more pain
More pain! - It's just time that leads us on..
