Time Swallows Time - D-A-D

If you hide;

the kid inside

The more you live;

the more he dies

That’s the cost of livin

Always taking, never giving

Give up things, that won’t come back

'Coz what you lost was all you had.

I look around to see

Is there anyone like me?

I’ll close my eyes and try to understand

All there’s left of my rock’s a grain of sand.

Time swallows sand

And year swallows year

Time swallows time

And all the time it disappears

Time swallows time

Float around, stay low and wait

I close my mouth around the bait

Pull it when you’re able

I’m a goldfish on a table

Believing things that isn’t true

There’s a kid inside of you

And you don’t hear him crying

But slowly he’s dying…

I’ll close my eyes and try to understand

All there’s left of my rock’s a grain of sand

Time swallows time

And year swallows year

Time swallows time

And all the time it disappears

Time swallows time

And year swallows year

— I guess it does;

it’s this time a year

All the time just disappears

I guess it does;

it’s this time a year

Time swallows time

And down the throat next year slips

Time swallow time

And year licks it’s lips
