Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small
Grow in time
[Verse 2]
And we all seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf of too many books
Read me your favorite line
[Verse 3]
Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking
And the western man's need to cry
[Verse 4]
He came back the other day
Ah, you know
Some things in life may change
And some things they stay the same
[Verse 5]
Like time
There's always time
On my mind
So pass me by
I'll be fine
Just give me time
[Verse 6]
Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
[Verse 7]
Children scream or so it seems
Louder than before
Out of doors and into stores
With bigger names
[Verse 8]
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And daddy lost
At the races too many time
[Verse 9]
She broke down the other day
Yeah, you know
Some things in life may change
And some things they stay the same
[Verse 10]
Like time
There's always time
On my mind
So pass me by
I'll be fine
Just give me time
Time
[Verse 11]
Ooh, time
There's always time
On my mind
Pass me by
I'll be fine
Just give me time
