Time Goes By

Time goes by Bringing on droopy eyes IV been gone a million miles from bead No soft place to lay my head Time goes by I can’t say if I love staying awake My body rest while my mind counts sheep Insomnia keeps my eyes awake Time goes by So take a rest Take a deep breath Dive into the deep end Landing back on couch cushions Time goes by Bring on day light Wondering though candy fields Under cloudscape sky Time goes by Open eyes stares fill the sky Floating around the universe Bouncing off moons Time goes by People bluer The rain comes and goes Babies grow old The old grow dead Time goes by Yet every now and then Some things sticks in side my head Cork bored full of little notes Time goes by I make a childhood scarifies Innocence no drug can restore Adult hoods bad realty show Time goes by I still collect little notes Head full of useless facts Jeopardy champion Time goes by I grow old No longer knowing the merrier person sitting alone in a nursing home Time goes by Just another year Sleepless wishes Angels will never hear Time goes by Heavy harts hop has long forgotten Insomnia demands rise Hunting dreams in the night Don’t Fall asleep
