Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Rice
[00:35.500] Older chests reveal themselves
[00:39.470] Like a crack in a wall
[00:42.060] Starting small, and grow in time
[00:51.790] And we (always) seem to need the help
[00:56.780] Of someone else
[00:59.890] To mend that shelf
[01:01.620] (of) Too many books
[01:04.470] Read me your favourite line
[01:10.630] Papa went to other lands
[01:14.030] And he found someone who understands
[01:18.420] The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
[01:26.620] He came back the other day, yeah you know
[01:32.030] Some things in life may change
[01:35.910] And some things
[01:38.120] They stay the same
[01:44.010] Like time, there's always time
[01:52.480] On my mind
[02:00.870] So pass me by, I'll be fine
[02:09.080] Just give me time
[02:20.910] Older gents sit on the fence
[02:23.940] With their cap in hand
[02:28.930] Looking grand
[02:33.300] They watch their city change
[02:38.230] Children scream, or so it seems,
[02:41.810] Louder than before
[02:46.550] Out of doors, into stores with bigger names
[02:55.600] Mama tried to wash their faces
[02:59.520] But these kids they lost their graces
[03:04.030] And daddy lost at the races too many times
[03:12.890] She broke down the other day, yeah you know
[03:17.290] Some things in life may change
[03:21.620] But some things they stay the same
[03:30.240] Like time, time, there's always time
[03:36.170] On my mind
[03:45.880] So pass me by, I'll be fine
[03:53.200] Just give me time,
[03:59.150] Time, there's always time
[04:11.360] On my mind
[04:20.870] Pass me by, I'll be fine
[04:27.890] Just give me time
