time
there i see you go again
today are you a foe or friend
how fast will you go by today
what's the price i'll have to pay
will you fly by like a streak
or will you crawl on baby's feet
is the tempest in your stride
or the need just to abide
will your demons torture me
roll and tumble me in sleep
or bring a sweet dream for tonight
a stolen moment, brief respite
the excitement that i loved to feel
traded in for what seems real
torrid dreams with sensual urges
become the beat of funeral dirges
time will you walk brisk today
or drag your feet along the way
can you go back to when i smiled
stop there for a little awhile
how quickly you become so slow
make yesterdays seem years ago
yet nights when she lay next to me
you flew too fast for me to see
you stole each minute like a thief
and made each hour way too brief
but one thing you can't steal from me
the sweetness of those memories
i hold them close and oh so dear
relive them just to feel her near
i know each minute that you rushed
will come back if i wait enough
time we'll fight again today
who's the winner, who can say
no real victor in this fight
except the darkness of the night
