Time Is Slippin' Away

(앨범: Butcherbird - 2018)

It comes as a shock and I don't know
Where the hell did my life go?
I planted a tree and look at it now
It's big and half dead and I'm thinking
Wow, time is slipping away

Now sometimes I feel half my age
Then I look in the mirror
I'm just like the old coaches that I see
I'm looking at them and they're looking at me
And all of a sudden we're the old farts in our town

But I won't complain with all I've done, that's all I know
Working out in the morning sun, having a go
I feel like thanking something for what I see
So I thank the stars for shining down on me

I can't handle the heat these days
So I find the shade like and old dog
I have a pair they say and I'm just lazy
I get a bit more done in the evening when it's cool

But I won't complain with all I've done, that's all I know
Working out in the morning sun, having a go
I feel like thanking something for what I see
So I thank the stars for shining down on me

I always see the brighter side of life
Sometimes drives others mad
I've found good friends and lost a love or two
But life is short, it's what you do
And you don't get far being too careful

But I won't complain with all I've done, that's all I know
Working out in the morning sun, having a go
I feel like thanking something for what I see
So I thank the stars for shining down on me

Yeah, it comes as a shock and I don't know
Where the hell did my life go?
I planted a tree and look at it now
It's big and half dead and I'm thinking
Wow, time is slipping away
Yeah, time is slipping away
