Time Is Passing - Pete Townshend

I’m playing my guitar while my sister bangs the jar

The glass sets up a sound like people laughing

It’s going to my brain and it’s easing all my pain

I must hear this sound again 'cause time is passing

Mmm.

I’m walking by the sea and the shingle sings for me The crabs are swimming down among the starfish

The rocks all clatter down and the seagulls fly around

But the whole trip rubs it in that time is passing, passing

Find it, I got to hear it all again

My heart has heard the sound of harmony

Blind to it, as my tears fall again

It’s only by the music I’ll be free

There’s something in the whisper of the trees

Millions hear it, still they can’t believe

There are echoes of it splashing in the waves

As an empire of dead men leave their graves

Don’t listen to people talk, don’t listen to 'em selling souls

Don’t listen to me or words from men above

Don’t hear it in your needs and don’t hear it in your greeds

Just hear it in the sound of time a-passing

Find it, I got to hear it all again

My heart has heard the sound of harmony

Blind to it, as my tears fall again

It’s only by the music I’ll be free
