Time Is Not a Friend of Mine

Time is not a friend of mine

How I wish that time was mine

I would lock it in a cage

And so start a whole new age

I would throw away the key

Never let it run so free

Time is not a friend of mine

How I wish that time was mine

No more let it slipping through my fingers

No more wasting precious hours

No more rushing, just missing the moment

No more waiting in my life

Time is not a friend of mine

How I wish that time was mine

I would keep it safe and sound

Make it stop running around

I would make it stay with me

Stop the clocks and let me be

I would give my heart and mind

For a gesture of that kind

No more let it slipping through my fingers

No more wondering why when years go by

No more changing everything is perfect

No more hurrying in my life

I cry and I eat

I try and I sleep

I drink and I laugh at times

I reason and worry

I pray for the past

I fight and I change, and I’m waiting all the

Time is not a friend of mine

How I wish that time was mine

Could I convince it not to fly

It won’t do ’cause time is sly

Hours pleading their release

My mind would never be at ease

I think I’d drown it in a lake

Keep it down for old times sake
