Lyrics
Time
Greenberg/Reed-Lunn
Time, why you always runnin'?
Maybe I'll just turn around this time
My hands are tied, my hair's already grey
And everyone I know and love they don't know me at all
If they don't know soon I'll loose them anyway
CHORUS: Time, why you always runnin'?
Can't you slow down and try to stay?
'Cause I know this ain't no straight and narrow
And I'll be damned if I should leave these things this way
Deep within myself I kept on goin' back
Didn't believe that there was much that I should say
Now every word I've ever held is chocking me each day
And if I don't yell soon I'll scream anyway
Chorus
If I told you things were changing, would you still turn away?
Would you want to know me now, like you tried to once before?
Or is there too much passed between us that there is no repair?
Am I alone in wanting something more?
There must be a way to help you understand
Just how hard it is for me to try and say
Though every word I've spoken was a cynic's hideaway,
I still believe in tomorrow anyway
Chorus
I know this ain't no straight and narrow
And I'll be damned if I should leave these things this way
