On the corner of a street stands a girl
Who waits for her lover
She's only 17, never been
In love with another
Though he's half an hour late, she'll wait
For she loves him so she can't go
But all the time she's aware people stare
People stare
Time goes so slowly when you're young
Time hangs so heavy
Don't wish time away now before your time has begun
You're still young
After work a woman runs for the bus
Her children are waiting
She was serving in a shop, couldn't stop
Anticipating
But the children want to play and they say
"Oh, just let us be" and she sees
That their childhood has already gone
They've moved on
Time goes too quickly when they're young
Time steals them from you
When the children were there
You had no time to spare
Not like now
There's a quiet man who waits, never states
His reason for living
Never wanted to impose, still he never chose
To stop giving
And so he doesn't see the TV
He waits for his son, the only one
But his sonny doesn't come, he's having fun
Having fun
Time goes so fast when you're old
You live in the past
You can turn back the clock
But time still rushes on
Time goes on
Time goes on
Time goes on
Time goes on
