Strawbs - Time And Life lyrics

rate me

Time is the power<br />

The enemy hour<br />

The soul survivor of the news<br />

The headlines.<br />

<br />

Life is a friend<br />

I value its end<br />

For I can take it when I choose<br />

The deadlines.<br />

<br />

Time and life<br />

Will meet at dawn<br />

The swords have been drawn<br />

For the takers.<br />

<br />

Time has no heart<br />

It wins from the start<br />

Was I so foolish<br />

As to try to ignore it.<br />

<br />

Life is complete<br />

And proud in defeat<br />

At last I understand<br />

Why I adore it.<br />

<br />

Time and life<br />

Fight to the end<br />

But life has to bend<br />

To her makers.
