Time Is A Force - Jim Guthrie

Time

Is a force

And it will

Surely take its course

It will take

From all of you

Taking with it All the things you had planned to do And regret

Is a gift

Who could explain

That it’s a gift

One not wrapped

And unreceived

It’s the kind you keep

From yours truly

What is a must when the heart beats slow

Goodbye until hello

Cause every flame is the same

They look the same

Once when I was dreaming

You felt an impossible feeling

That went from the floor

Right down to the ceiling

You gotta slow down

And inbetween all of the screaming

I couldn’t find anything redeeming

Cause you weren’t even there

I just stared at the ceiling

I gotta slow down

I gotta slow down

I gotta slow down

What is a must when the heart beats slow

Goodbye until hello

Cause every flame’s the same

They look the same

Except the one’s that have names

Besides that they look the same

Have a little day

That all goes your way

Have a little house

All to yourself

In the country

Oh, in the country

Time is a force

And it will surely take it’s course

It will take from all of you

Taking with it All the things you had planned to do
