Time: The Beginning

Father **time**, I'm running late I'm winding down, I'm growing tired Seconds drift into the night The clock just ticks till my **time** expires You were once my friend Now I know I can't tie your hands The days I saved I couldn't spend They fell like sand through the hourglass No **time** to lose, no **time** to choose **Time** taking **time**, it's taken mine Scenes of my life seem so unkind **Time** chasing **time** creeps up behind I can't run forever, and **time waits for no one** Not even me An enemy I can't defend My final place a deadly end Life's just a speck in space Dreams of an eternal resting place I can't get any younger **Time** has brutal hunger **Time** taking **time**, it's taken mine Scenes of my life seem so unkind **Time** chasing **time** creeps up behind I can't run forever, and **time waits for no one**, waits for no one Not even me
