Father Time

Lyrics

It's holiday

A modern day

A day to change your life

Make it new and bright

But bitterness abounds

By people all around

They bring him down like the rain

Tie him down, ball and chain

Hard time on the rail road line

Like a waste case that's out of place

Hear the church bell chime

In the middle of your mind

It's a broken toy

That he's cherished all his life

And built his shrine with the help of Father Time

It's a winding road

A heavy load

A home away from home

A place to roam

It's a fractured brain of consequences

A host, another vow

It's a different point of view

When the old man points and shows him what to do
