Seconds Lyrics by Poverty’s No Crime

The Autumn Years

0

You waste your minutes
Knowing it's time from your life
The time is your guidance
Leads you away from the child
And it will be with you anywhere
Looking back into the past
Shows me the days I was wrong
Even moments of pleasure
Were taken away by the hands of time
But there always arose a new day for me
I can't deny...

Time after time we return
Out of darkness into light

Day by day people astray
They're watching how the world sheds a tear
We are dancing on a tight-rope
Sowing the seeds of a venomous game
But there's not even time
For a little handshake

I know that we can't go on as we want
Even earth has changed it's way around the sun
But the seconds still run
Soon they will be lost forever

Time, what have you done to me?
You slow down this turning wheel
I know the years are getting colder now
Trying to get the speed again

You slow down this turning wheel
And a mountain you throw in my way

There's a place I've never seen
Lend me some time from your life
It seems to be an acceptable
A lot of your dreams won't come true to you
As sure as this game will go on and on
I can't deny...
Night after night we're used to the hope
That the morning brings us gold...
