Clocks all keep ticking on
Folks slip and trip along
And time keeps on picking on me
Time it does something strange
Makes most folks act their age
And moves on perpetually
Does the heart that keeps this rhythm
Sail in a celestial sea?
Time won't you be my friend?
Time might you ever end?
Or will you just be the end of me
And everything?
Time I see you in the wind
Licking flames and everything
Boy, you've got your hand in it all
Time you're the father of
Everything I've grown to love
Thank you for making things grow
Does the heart that keeps this rhythm
Sail in a celestial sea?
Time won't you be my friend?
Time might you ever end?
Or will you just be the end of me
And everything?
