Time: The Beginning [Unplugged in Boston]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Father time, I'm running late I'm winding down, I'm growing tired Seconds drift into the night The clock just ticks 'til my time expires You were once my friend Now I know I can't tie your hands [Verse 2] The days I saved I couldn't spend They fell like sand through the hourglass No time to lose, no time to choose [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] An enemy I can't defend My final days, a deadly end Life is just a speck in space Dreams of an eternal resting place I can't get any younger Time has brutal hunger [Chorus] 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
