| Lyrics |
Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small
They grow in time
And we all seem to need the help
Of someone else, to mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line
Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking
And the Western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, yeah y'know
Some things in life may change
And some things, they stay the same
Like time
There's always time
On my mind
So pass me by
I'll be fine
Just give me time
Older gents sit on the fence
With a cap in hand
Looking grand
They've watched their city change
and children scream, or so it seems
Louder than before
Out of doors, and into stores
With bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids, they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races
Too many times
She broke down the other day, yeah y'know
Some things in life may change
And some things, they stay the same
Like time
There's always time....
