"Time Waits For No One" lyrics

Time Waits For No One

Yes, star crossed in pleasure
The stream flows on by
Yes, as we're sated in leisure
We watch it fly
Yes

And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

Time can tear down a building
Or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds
Don't let them waste

Time waits for no one
No favours has he
Time waits for no one
And he won't wait for me
Yeah, aaah

Men, they build towers to their passing yes
To their fame everlasting
Here he comes chopping and reaping
Hear him laugh at their cheating

And time waits for no man
And it won't wait for me
Yes, time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

Drink in your summer
Gather your corn
The dreams of the night time
Will vanish by dawn

And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

No no no
Not for me
No
Not for me
Not
