Out of Time

Now is all we have, use it up.

Out of Time

 

 

When I met you time stood still

I’m still waiting

On a heartbeat

You ran away

Across the sea

I saw you leave

Impatiently

Time will shame the day

            Blame the night

            Cause the light to dim and die

God gave me a watch

            On its face

Just one time

            Now

There’s no excuse for selfish

I’m out of time

The hands of time

Can beat you down

Or lift you up

What will you choose

We’ve come too far

To give up now

Let’s carry on

And on and on

Time will shame the day

            Blame the night

            Cause the light to dim and die

God gave me a watch

            On its face

Just one time

            Now

Here’s no excuse for foolish

We are out of time

I’m hopeful now

In helpful ways

I watch the birds

Fly away

Step to the left

Excuse yourself

The world turns

And you keep up

Time will shame the day

            Blame the night

            Cause the light to dim and die

God gave me a watch

            On its face

Just one time

            Now

There’s no excuse for lazy

You’re out of time

It’s time to go

I hear you say

I’m not ready

To go today

When I met you

Time stood still

I’m still standing

Standing still

Time will shame the day

            Blame the night

            Cause the light to dim and die

God gave me a watch

            On its face

Just one time

            Now

There’s no excuse for thoughtless

I’m out of time
