Father Time Paroles

Time I spent all over
Time I wasted, the time I spent
Time I've got to run away

I saw you, yesterday
Running down my track
I saw you just yesterday
I could feel you at my back

With that long black cloak and that sharp scythe
For cutting them all down
Your long black coat, a skull and a scythe
Cutting them all through town

I saw you, just yesterday
You don't frighten me
I see you every day
You still don't frighten me

One day I'll go You're no herb from my garden
You're no rosemary
And you're no sage
You know your name
I call you Father Time

I saw you yesterday
I can still see you now
You're living in my face, in my breakfast
I can see you now

You're just the time I wasted, the time I spent
You're the time I'm left to run with
What time is this
Even I make up time, I do, I'm the time

You can call yourself daddy
But you're no father of mine

Yes, I saw you yesterday
You didn't frighten me at all
I saw you just yesterday
You didn't frighten me at all

With that long cloak and that silly little skull
The stupid scythe and all your jive
I never could see you, I can't see you now
Not as long as I'm alive

One day, I'll go
The very next day you'll come
One day you'll come
The very next time I'll go

I know a friend of mine, a friend of mine was watching
Told me the time by the clock
I saw him last night, down by the graveyard
Holding on to a rock

I said, "I saw you yesterday
I saw you, Father Time"
I said, "Go away, go away, go away, go away, go away
I know you're Father Time, run it down now"

I said, "Every minute, every second, every day of my life
I meet you in the mirror
Every time, look at each wrinkle
I know I've got a sheriff coming"

Sure I saw you, sure as time
Sure as clock, sure is fine
I know that mother's no father
'Cause they call him Father Time

Coming through the door with a black cloak
And a nasty sharp instrument
That nasty sharp instrument
That nasty sharp instrument

I won't go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I won't go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I won't go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I won't go till I'm ready and you can't catch

I won't go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I won't go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I won't go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I won't go till I'm ready
