Time and Time Again

Days to weeks to months to years 
As time goes on it dries the tears
A tissue for a heart that weeps
Less sad dreams and better sleeps

Though waiting for the time to pass
Can take so long, a minute lasts
An hour, and an hour's like
Fourteen days and thirteen nights 

The weight comes off, no appetite 
The beard gets long, you're quite the sight 
While going down heartbroken street
The key is just stay on your feet

Keep on walking, don't turn 'round
Time and you will cover ground
And then one day the sun will shine
The birds will sing, the weather's fine 

And when you shave off all that hair
You'll realize those were always there
You hadn't noticed the sublime
Sit down to eat, it's breakfast time
