Time Is - Driftwood

Time by an old man’s coat

is the time I want for my own

but I keep on foolin around, stayin up all night

with a little lamp on and a clock light burning bright

ooooohoooohoooohooohoooohooohoooh

oooohoooohoooohooohoooohooohoooh

and time brought you here today

but you won’t be here with me always,

you know where you’re goin' to your world, and me I talk

but even saints have to use a politicians tongue sometimes

and I want you to know oh dear

I want you to know I’m here

and I’ve never wanted less or more

no i’ve never wanted time to slow down like now

like now

i find it all hard to believe

oooohooohooooh

ooohooohooooh

oooooooohhooooooh

well sing along with me and i’ll teach you to wear your clothes alright

sing along with me and i’ll tuck you down nearly every night

for there’s no one like time to put it in life

and i know changing your mind ain’t something you like

but i wanted you to know, and now you know
