Time
Inspired by "Double Crossing Time" sung by Joe Bonamassa
Some think they can cheat time.
They’re crazy as can be.
For in this world it’s only time
practicing equality.
The minutes and the hours
in everybody’s day
cannot be added or subtracted.
Time you can’t betray.
Perhaps you might extend it
and even have long life,
but death still comes and takes you,
and life still brings you strife.
Some might cut their own life short,
but time goes on….. tick tock
There is no kindness in the face
of a ticking clock.
I’ll just sit and sing the blues
as time moves ever on.
One day I will be here,
but the next day I’ll be gone.
