Lyrics for Time Waits

One, two, three Time wasted, wasted worrying Hurrying down the same street Time beats with every moment Eroding from under my feet Time waits, it waits for no one Here I sit, I'm standing still Time waits I'd like to go on but I'm out of time My own doubt eats a hole From the inside out through my plans Work it out, I need to now But I don't know how to begin Time waits, it waits for no one Here I sit, I'm standing still Time waits I'd like to go on but I'm out of time Ah, and if I could make it stop Ah, or if I could have what I've lost In time Time wasted, wasted worrying Hurrying down the same street Time beats with every moment Eroding from under my feet Time waits, it waits for no one Here I sit, I'm standing still Time waits I'd like to go on but I'm out of time My own doubt eats a hole From the inside out through my plans Work it out, I need to now But I don't know how to begin Time waits, it waits for no one Here I sit, I'm standing still Time waits I'd like to go on but I'm out of time
