Time Marches On
Time marches on
Vs 1
I tried to escape the truth...
Tried to fight the fleeing- strength of my youth
Never thought I would succumb...
To the incessant, beating of the drum
Bridge
The rug was pulled out from under my feet
but, I'll keep on dancing 'til there's no more beat
Shook the foundations of all I believe,
but I'll do my best 'til I get my relief.
Chorus
Time marches on without me (without me)
Seconds and minutes surround me (surround me)
I'll leave without a sound-
buried underground....
Remember me
Verse 2
The bubble had to burst...
Couldn't hold it-now, I'm bracing for the worst
The candle flickers out...
There is nothing left- you'll have to do without
Bridge
The rug was pulled out from under my feet
but, I'll keep on dancing 'til there's no more beat
Shook the foundations of all I believe,
but I'll do my best 'til I get my relief.
Chorus
Time marches on without me (without me)
Seconds and minutes surround me (surround me)
I'll leave without a sound-
buried underground....
Remember me
I'll leave without a sound-
buried underground....
Remember me
