Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's comin' round again
The slowly creepin' hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
And settles in its place
It's shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
[Verse 2]
This life, well it's slippin' right through my hand
These days turned out nothin' like I had planned
[Verse 3]
It's comin' round again
The slowly creepin' hand
Of time and its demand
Settles in it's place
A shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
[Verse 4]
Soon enough it comes
Here it is again
The slowly creepin' hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
Settles in it's place
Puts pressure in my day
Undignified and lame
[Verse 5]
This life, well it's slippin' right through my hand
These days turned out nothin' like I had planned
Control, well it's slippin' right through my hand
These days turned out nothin' like I had planned
[Verse 6]
Soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes to tie us down
[Verse 7]
It's comin' round again
Slow, slowly creepin' hand
[Verse 8]
This life, well it's slippin' right through my hand
These days turned out nothin' like I had planned
Control, well it's slippin' right through my hand
These days turned out nothin' like I had planned
