Time's ticking by Best hold on As the days are long and You want out Of this dream That is not what it seems Time's ticking by Best hold on As the days drag on and You want out Of this dream That is not what it seems Baby, I'm far away With these people that have too much to say Casting shadows over all my waning days Slow death comes far too fast I would like to see this last But you know there's no controlling that Time's ticking by Best hold on As the days are long and You want out Of this dream That is not what it seems Life flies right by And I'm drawn to a sense of longing for you But you must Try to see what this life really means
