Time - time is all you have You can't see what's beyond now and no one can take you there Time is a gentle thief - taking what you used to be Years grow shorter now - you look down at the world From your outpost and you feel kind of lost Time - time is all you get, so you make up the best Imagination will take you there So you shape the world, walk the path with open eyes From the cradle to the one last smile You you look down at the world from your outpost And you feel kind of lost A moment of clarity on the train home Here we are like islands on our own Last days of summer bringing blue skies and more pain Oh no! - It's just time that leads us on... Time - time can be your friend Time can mend a broken heart Time can tear dear old friends apart Time is a one way track - this is now We can't go back Still we hurry down that lane You look down at the world from your outpost And you feel kind of lost A moment of clarity on the train home Here we are - all like islands on our own Last days of summer, bringing blue skies and more pain More pain! - It's just time that leads us on.
