Father Time

The wind is blowing, through the pines
 Always stealing from me, Father Time
 Taking from me, what was never mine
 One more day, one more night
 Always longing for the past
 Taking for granted, the time at hand
 Every moment like shifting sand
 Leaving weary, the strongest man
 Many fortunes have been gained and lost
 Upon the ocean, many ships have crossed
 Many brilliant souls have lived and died
 At the hands of Father Time
 I? m not promised another day
 Still I? m reckless and time I waste
 All my tears cried in vain
 Gaining wisdom as beauty fades
 Gaining wisdom as beauty fades
 Many seasons have now come and gone
 Fleeting memories overwhelm my soul
 And as the hands of fate, twist and unwind
 I? m at the mercy of Father Time
