Lyrics[]

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