Paroles de Father Time

The wind is blowing through the pines Always stealing from me, father time Taking from me, what was never mine One more day, one more night Always longing, for the past Taking for granted, the time at hand Every moment like shifting sand Leaving weary, the strongest man Many fortunes have been gained & lost Upon the ocean, many ships have crossed Many brilliant souls have lived & died At the hands of father time I'm not promised another day Still I'm reckless & time I waste All my tears, cried in vain Gaining wisdom as beauty fades Gaining wisdom as beauty fades Many seasons have now come & gone Fleeting memories overwhelm my soul And as the hands of fate, twist & unwind I'm at the mercy, of father time
