歌词
Saw you yesterday walking down my lane
Says I know you just get away
The name is father time
Time I hate, the time I love
The time I spend all over
The time I wasted, the time I spent
The time I got to run with
Saw you yesterday running down my track
I saw you just yesterday
I could feel you at my back
With that long black cloak
And a sharp scythe
For cutting them all down
That long black cloak
A skull and a scythe
For cutting them all down
Saw you just yesterday
You don't frighten me
I see you everyday
You still don't frighten me
One day I'll go
And you'll have no choice but to come with me
Next day you'll come
The very next day you'll have to go
What can I say
You're not from my garden
You're no rosemary
And you are no sage
I know your name
Caught up by time
Was I yesterday?
I can still see you now
You're living in my face
In my breakfast
I can see you now
You're just the time I wasted
The time I spent
You're the time I've left to run with
Well, time is just my make
I'm the time I do all the time
You can call yourself daddy
But you're no father of mine
Cause I saw you yesterday
You didn't frighten me at all
I saw you just yesterday
You didn't frighten me at all
With that long cloak
And that silly little skull
The stupid scythe and all your jive
I never could see you
And I can't see you now
Not as long as I'm alive
One day I'll go
The very next day you'll come
One day you'll come
The very next time I'll go
I know a friend of mine
A friend of mine was watching
Told me the time by the clock
I saw him last night
Down by the graveyard
Holding on to a rock
I said I saw you yesterday
I saw you father time
I said go away, go away, go away, go away, go away
I know you're father time
Run it down
I say every minute, every second, every day of my life
I meet you in the mirror
Every time I look at each wrinkle
I know I got a shirt coming
Shirts all down
Shirts tight
Shirts clap, shirts fight
I know that mother, no father
Cause they call him father time
Coming through the door
With a black cloak
And a nasty sharp instrument
That nasty sharp instrument
That nasty sharp instrument
I'm gonna go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I'm gonna go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I'm gonna go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I'm gonna go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I'm gonna go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I'm gonna go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I'm gonna go till I'm ready and you can't catch me
I'm gonna go till I'm ready
