Could I Borrow

Every day I make these lists of things that absolutely have to get done Funny, I have never written to myself "be sure to have fun" Mother's getting older still she's got a lot of things to say Those days when she'll be silent may seem violent But they're days that aren't too far away And I'd just love to sit and talk to you But there's all these things I've got to do Could I borrow just fourteen hours Could I borrow Future's on its way so every day I pave a road that I've been told is secure But giving up my time for peace of mind that's not so peaceful Leaves me not so sure Maybe work that's never done Is work that should've never begun I find that I feel fine when I resign to walk in time Instead of timing my run And sometimes I think I think too much Turn off my mind and let's tune in to touch Could I borrow just fourteen hours Could I borrow So you ask me when this whole thing stops Seems I won't slow 'til I drop Like it or not because Seems I won't slow 'til I drop And sometimes I think I think too much Turn off my mind and let's tune in to touch Could I borrow just fourteen hours Could I borrow
