Time's ticking by
Best hold on
As the days are long and
You want out
Of this dream
That is not what it seems
Time's ticking by
Best hold on
As the days drag on and
You want out
Of this dream
That is not what it seems
Baby, I'm far away
With these people that have too much to say
Casting shadows over all my waning days
Slow death comes far too fast
I would like to see this last
But you know there's no controlling that
Time's ticking by
Best hold on
As the days are long and
You want out
Of this dream
That is not what it seems
Life flies right by
And I'm drawn to a sense of longing for you
But you must
Try to see what this life really means
