"Toys In Time" lyrics

Toys In Time

Don't feel bad
When the nice things you've had
Get tattered
And must be laid away
The nice things you had
They're so many grains of sand
And they're only the toys
In time's great game
Time gives and time takes away

And don't look back
When your childhood has ended
You knew it couldn't last forever
The young things
The spring brings
Snow covers over
And they're only the toys
In time's great game
Time gives and time takes away

And don't ask why
When a close friend dies
Though it feels like a page
Has been ripped from your life
We run our race
In an hourglass in space
And we're only the toys
In time's great game
Time gives and time takes away
