Time Waits for No One

Yes, star crossed in pleasure

The stream flows on by

Yes, as we're sated in leisure

We watch it fly, yes

And time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

And time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

Time can tear down a building

Or destroy a woman's face

Hours are like diamonds

Don't let 'em waste

Time waits for no one

No favours, has he

Time waits for no one

And he won't wait for me, yeah ah!

Eh, ah

Men, they build towers to their passing yes

To their fame everlasting

Here he comes chopping and reaping

Hear him laugh at their cheating

And time waits for no man

And it won't wait for me

Yes, time waits for no one

And it won't wait for thee

Drink in your summer

Gather your corn

The dreams of the night-time

Will-will vanish by dawn

And time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

And time waits for no one

And it won't wait for me

No, no, no

Not for me!

No, not for me
