The Time

And now I'm getting old -
The mirror says I do...
I'll have to face my fall
And, oh, my winter too...

The time's a thief - it stole
So many dreams come true
From many in this world,
And now I'm in the queue...

But I will try
To think
Of a time
Like of a thing
That will finally
Quit,
That will stop
To steal
In a High Up
City


Oh, Jesus, please!
Please save me
From the minutes,
Seconds

And the hours...
Please help me!
Save me now
Till I am absolutely
Frightened
With this great thing
That's called time, that
Won't ever last...
I won't mind it...



And now I'm getting old -
The mirror says I do...
It's time to call my Lord
To help me know for sure:

The time's a lier - it fools
So many here... The truth
Is: in eternal world
We own eternal youth

And I will try
To think
Of a time
Like of a thing
That will finally
Quit,
That will stop
To steal
In a High Up
City


Oh, Jesus, please!
Please save me
From the minutes,
Seconds

And the hours...
Please help me!
Save me now
Till I am absolutely
Frightened
With this great thing
That's called time, that
Won't ever last...
I won't mind it...
