Time

(Verse 1) I watch the hands move, slowly turning round Minutes fall like rain, sinking in the ground Moments that were mine, slipping through my hands Can’t hold onto them, like fading strands of sand (Chorus) Oh, Time, you’re the keeper, the thief in the night Stealing my memories, turning day into light You give and you take, with no warning or sign Oh, Time, you’re a friend and a foe in my mind (Verse 2) Shadows grow longer as the years unfold Stories I’ve lived, the dreams that I hold In every heartbeat, you’re ticking along Guiding my steps, leading me on (Chorus) Oh, Time, you’re the keeper, the thief in the night Stealing my memories, turning day into light You give and you take, with no warning or sign Oh, Time, you’re a friend and a foe in my mind (Bridge) I can’t rewind, can’t slow the hands down The past is behind, but I still hear the sound Of laughter and tears, of love that I’ve known They echo within me, though time has flown (Chorus) Oh, Time, you’re the keeper, the thief in the night Stealing my memories, turning day into light You give and you take, with no warning or sign Oh, Time, you’re a friend and a foe in my mind (Outro) Ticking and turning, the hours decay I breathe in each moment before it fades away You carry me forward, no matter the cost In the journey of time, I’m forever lost
