An expression of the stress of daily living. Not enough time for all that has to be done.

Time (Wait for Me)
©2004

Chorus: Wait for me, I’m trying to keep
Up with your demands
All I’ve got is these two hands.

Time taking time take away, take me through another day
Give it time give it play, give me clever words to say
Say I’m , say I’m wrong, say you knew it all along
Say that time marches on, marches narrow straight and long.
Time can’t keep; can’t keep time…

(Chorus)

Time, time is up, double down, time is chasing me around
Chase the gold, chase the prize, tracking down your alibis
Buy more stuff every day, then just throw it all away
Made of dust made of clay, have you hugged your kids today?
Time can’t keep, can’t keep time…

(chorus)

Time silent time voices loud, losing faces in a crowd
Time is lost, lost and found, running sand run aground
Give it time, time to heal, all the anguish that we feel
Keep it live, keep it real, keep on running in a wheel.
Time can’t keep, can’t keep time…
