Time you're creeping round my corner

The fate of clock and flow

On your way past my door

Now you stand before an old man

His last words to embrace

Then you'll go on your way

See the people run

Before they stop to think of life

See them run, see them hide

In this lonely life

See the people run

Before they stop to wonder why

See them run, see them hide

See them run, see them hide

In this lonely life

When the day has come you'll find

I hope I'm old and gray

And my life had it's day

Now you've taken all my old friends

Until the end of time

Turn the key to the rhyme

[Repeat Chorus]

Time you're creeping round my corner

Your sight of cash and flow

Moving on past my door

Now I know some day you'll find me

When I am old and gray

Until then, on your way, hey

See the people run

Before they stop to think of life

See them run, see them hide

In this lonely life

See the people run

Before they stop to ponder why

See them run, see them hide

See them run, see them hide

In this lonely life
