Old Man Time Lyrics

i have been falling again for so long
so long, i've been off that track
there's a mystery in that and it's strong
but once more i'm asking for your time
a few between the two, then i'm gone
i don't think i'll be coming back
i'm not coming back

it seems to me, you and me
where we're supposed to be
we're lost somewhere on the seventh sea
i found time, least i thought i did
you slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip
so this day that i stood my ground
wait for old man time

once again a day's flown by on a journey roads get hot so hot, i'm walking round unclothed
heated to the bone, bareboned
bareboned, i'm thrown, dethroned again
i missed the man by a minute again
but next time gonna have my shot
gonna see me with time

it seems to me, you and me
where we're supposed to be
we're lost somewhere on a endless sea
i found time, least i thought i did
you slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip
so this day that i stood my ground
you saw me lost, but forget it, i'm found
right here at the black rock lay your cards down
mr. old man time

oh, i tracked you down old man
when i walk at night i see you and i follow you old man
but the black rock is never too far away
i'm dying just to hear what you say
so next time i'll be coming round gonna see me with time

it seems to me, you and me
where we're supposed to be
we're lost somewhere on an endless sea
i found time, least i thought i did
you slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip
so this day that i stood my ground
you think you lost me, but forget it, i'm found
so right here at the black rock lay your cards down
old man time
you're not too far from me
i've waited my life just a minute to see
