Lyrics
Once you were a young man
Now you are old
You're over the hill
And you can't cross the palm of time's hand
Silver and gold
To make him stand still
Who could've possibly thought
It would go so fast
But it certainly did
And now you find yourself caught
With less future than past
You're no longer a kid
Once as a boy time weighed heavy on your hand
You couldn't wait to be a man
And now you cry, oh, it's so hard to laugh
And you can't understand
Why you can't turn time round
Your hourglass once had a top half
That was filled full of sand
But it's all trickled down
Written by: Kate McGarrigle, Loudon Wainwright III
