The frogs are asleep on the lake
 Did you know that tears run in rivulets
 And hearts can repeatedly break?
 And this may well be the last time
 If my spirits don't pick up and fly
 For though it's sad
 It may well be true
 That our time is passing us by

 Occasionally you have called for me
 I've always tried to be there
 But it seemed whenever my train pulled in
 You never did really care
 And the only thing I could decipher
 From the corner of your roving eye
 Was that you and I
 Were the first ones to know
 That our time was passing us by

 Well, it was fun for the first few years
 playing Legend In Our Time
 And there were those who discussed the fact
 That we drifted apart in our prime
 And we haven't got too much in common
 Except that we're so much alike
 And I hate it for though
 You're a big part of me
 But our time is passing us by

 So I can sit here in my silver chair
 You can stay there on your gold
 You can say you've got commitments
 And I can say I'm growing old
 And I can get up and make comments
 On the color of the evening sky
 But our ships have come home
 And the night's rolling in
 And our time is passing us by

 But cast us adrift
 And cross a few stars
 And I'm good for one more try
