[00:14.51] Time is gonna take so much away
[00:16.06]
[00:17.13] But there's a way that time can offer you a trade
[00:19.56]
[00:20.88] Time is gonna take so much away
[00:22.64]
[00:23.83] But there's a way that time can offer you a trade
[00:26.17]
[00:27.05] You gotta did something that you can get nicer at
[00:29.80]
[00:30.32] You gotta did something that you can get wiser at
[00:33.08]
[00:33.63] You better did something that you can get better at
[00:36.32]
[00:36.93] 'Cause that's the only thing that time will leave you with
[00:39.45]
[00:40.68] 'Cause time is gonna take so much away
[00:42.49]
[00:43.62] But there's a way that time can offer you a trade
[00:45.96]
[00:46.92] It might be cabaret it could be poetry
[00:49.51]
[00:50.20] It might be trying to make a new happy family
[00:52.77]
[00:53.99] It could be violin repair or chemistry
[00:56.21]
[00:56.87] But if it's something that takes lots of time that's good
[00:59.32]
[01:00.57] 'Cause time is gonna take so much away
[01:02.44]
[01:03.54] But there's a way that time can offer you a trade
[01:05.92]
[01:06.87] Because your looks are gonna leave you
[01:08.75]
[01:10.34] And your citys gonna change too
[01:12.02]
[01:13.64] And your shoes are gonna wear through
[01:15.43]
[01:17.21] Yeah time is gonna take so much away
[01:19.03]
[01:20.12] But there's a way that you can offer time a trade
[01:22.51]
[01:23.36] You gotta did something that you can get smarter at
[01:26.18]
[01:26.72] You gotta did something you might just be a starter at
[01:29.47]
[01:30.01] You better did something that you can get better at
[01:32.73]
[01:33.72] 'Cause that's the thing that time will leave you with
[01:35.91]
[01:50.14] And maybe that's why they call a trade a trade
[01:52.62]
[01:53.35] Like when they say the
[01:54.42] You should go and learn a trade
[01:55.84]
[01:56.57] The thing you did don't have
[01:57.98] To be to learn a trade
[01:59.13]
[01:59.83] Just get something back from
[02:01.13] Time for all it takes away
[02:02.32]
[02:03.27] It could be many things it could be anything
[02:06.11]
[02:06.67] It could be expertise in
[02:08.18] Middle Eastern traveling
[02:09.26]
[02:09.94] Something to slowly sow
[02:11.39] The balance life's unraveling
[02:12.77]
[02:13.29] You have no choice you have
[02:14.72] To pay time's price
[02:15.77]
[02:16.69] But you can use the price to
[02:18.20] Buy you something nice
[02:19.10]
[02:20.15] Something you can only buy with lots of time
[02:22.55]
[02:23.33] So when you're old you blow
[02:24.76] Some whippersnapper's mind
[02:25.80]
[02:26.69] It might be researching a book
[02:28.46] That takes you seven years
[02:29.64]
[02:30.23] A book that helps to make the path
[02:31.94] We take to freedom clear
[02:33.00]
[02:33.57] And when you're done
[02:34.51] You see it started with a good idea
[02:36.27]
[02:36.83] One good idea could cost
[02:38.22] You thousands of your days
[02:39.34]
[02:40.16] But it's just time that you'd be spending anyway
[02:42.37]
[02:43.45] You have no choice you have to pay time's price
[02:46.08]
[02:46.87] But you can use the price to
[02:48.45] Buy you something nice
[02:49.40]
[02:51.61] So I've decided recently
[02:52.85]
[02:54.96] To try to trade more decently
