Time: The Beginning [Unplugged in Boston] lyrics

[Verse 1]
Father time, I'm running late
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks 'til my time expires
You were once my friend
Now I know I can't tie your hands

[Verse 2]
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose

[Chorus]
Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever
And time waits for no one
Not even me

[Verse 3]
An enemy I can't defend
My final days, a deadly end
Life is just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place
I can't get any younger
Time has brutal hunger
[Chorus]
Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever
And time waits for no one
Waits for no one
Not even me
