Days of summer stretch Like they go forever Thinking every hour That passes is better Endless ways of wasted days in no hurry Bless you child You ain't got any worries In the moment stars reached out And you grabbed them Details missed in the thick of it Where you been boy? You'll find that when you're there at last It's a bad show Pin me down and I'll tell you Just what you don't know Don't you know The clock keeps tickin' as the days go by (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) The older you get, the faster it glides (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) Grapple the moment stolen away You can't go back at the end of the day The here and now is your now here to stay (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) And time moves on (time keeps rollin', time moves on) Life flows through this cynic's veins And I wonder Why the foolish undertow took me under Putting wood against the grain is laborious And yet in life a choice exists for each one of us What's your choice? The clock keeps tickin' as the days go by (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) The older you get, the faster it glides (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) Grapple the moment stolen away You can't go back at the end of the day The here and now is your now here to stay (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) And it moves on (time keeps rollin', time moves on) In the face of a crowd, oh I loved it too much The punch of the drums was a punch in the gut When I measured a man by the depth of his love I found that one man stands above The clock keeps tickin' as the days go by (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) The older you get, the faster it glides (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) Grapple the moment stolen away You can't go back at the end of the day The here and now is your now here to stay (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) Time moves on (time keeps rollin', time moves on) Yeah The clock keeps tickin' as the days go by (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) The older you get, the faster it glides (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) The fool and his folly, the clash of a clown Has cashed in his past, for the sake of a crown To know where you're goin' is worth it all now (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) (Time keeps rollin', time moves on) (Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
