Lyrics

Time – Mike Delaney, for FAWM25

I don’t like doing nothin’
My day begins before dawn
Doing puzzles with my coffee
Get moving before too long

Need to get outside
Disperse the mental fog
Scratching at the door
Like an eager dog

Chorus:
Time, time, time
Only so much time
Live my life in motion
And end it with a rhyme

Balance work and family
Always feel behind
Responsibilities mounting
Running out of time

In a race with hurdles
Every option tried
Need to stay healthy
Time’s not on my side

Chorus

Running out of time
Need to get things done
Who knows for how long
This race will still be fun

Time is moving faster
Less time left for fear
Urgency increases
Is this my final year?

Bridge:
What happens when I’m feeble
Can’t care for my wife
Growing limitations
Balanced on a knife

Chorus x2

Tag: (Slowly) One more rhyme … that would be sublime
