Lyrics

Time is a thief
With sleight of hand
Rob you of your youth
While you’re still making plans
Hourglass flipped
In either direction
Like a river to the sea
It’s flowing around the bend
Swim for the shore
surrounded by fins
What will be will be
then it will be what has been
Time is a thief

Time is a thief
Dressed up as a friend
There to let you down
Again and again
Dig in your heels
Future antique
Pleading and tears
Won’t bring back the weeks
Wading in water
Can get pretty deep
But the sea is still connected
To the creek
Time is a thief

Future antique
and
the sea still connected to the creek,

brilliant lyrics!

I really like how you bookmark the title. And the words roll and flow beautifully. Very nice!

@cathreu 2w

That was lovely. Also loved the sound of the recording, very warm and comfy. Great swaying rhythm and melody.

@jinx 2w

Really lovely. I particularly enjoy that descending and then re-ascending line of bass notes.

@aldengriffith 2w

Beautiful. Don’t know if there’s an intentional nod to the Milk Carton Kids, but it sure is in that corner (which is great place to be!).

@mosno 2w

Wow, this is so wonderful. Gives me some Beatles / Cat Stevens vibes. Very beautiful.

Really love the line cliche in the bass notes of the guitar. Your vocal fits the song so well. The sentiment expressed in the lyrics is really poignant. Great job.
