The wind is blowing, through the pines 

Always stealing from me, father time 

Taking from me, what was never mine 

One more day 

One more night 

Always longing, for the past 

Taking for granted, the time at hand 

Every moment, like shifting sand 

Leaving weary 

The strongest man 

Many fortunes have been gained & lost 

Upon the ocean many ships have crossed 

Many brilliant souls have lived & died 

At the hands of father time I’m not promised, another day 

Still I’m reckless, and time I waste 

All my tears cried in vain 

Gaining wisdom 

As beauty fades 

Gaining wisdom 

As beauty fades 

Many seasons now have come & gone 

Fleeting memories overwhelm my soul 

And as the hands of fate twist & unwind 

I’m at the mercy............of father time
