Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain

The week before, they all seemed the same

With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize

I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly

[Verse 2]

So I, ain't a wastin' time no more

'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

[Verse 3]

Well, Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why are you cryin?

Been around here three long days, lookin' like we're dyin'

Go step yourself outside and look up at the stars above

And go on downtown, baby, find somebody to love

[Verse 4]

Meanwhile, I ain't a wastin' time no more

'Cause time goes by like pourin' rain, and much faster things

[Verse 5]

You don't need no gypsy to tell you why

Ya can't let one precious day to slip by

Well, look inside yourself, and if you don't see what you want

Maybe sometimes then you don't

But leave your mind alone and just get high

[Verse 6]

Well, by and by, way after many years have gone

And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone

We'll raise our children, in the peaceful way we can

It's up to you and me, brother, to try and try again

[Verse 7]

So, hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more

'Cause time rolls by like hurricanes

Runnin' after the subway train

Don't forget the pourin' rain
