Days of summer stretch
Like they go forever
Thinking every hour
That passes is better
Endless ways of wasted days in no hurry
Bless you child
You ain't got any worries
In the moment stars reached out
And you grabbed them
Details missed in the thick of it
Where you been boy?
You'll find that when you're there at last
It's a bad show
Pin me down and I'll tell you
Just what you don't know
Don't you know
The clock keeps tickin' as the days go by
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
The older you get, the faster it glides
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
Grapple the moment stolen away
You can't go back at the end of the day
The here and now is your now here to stay
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
And time moves on (time keeps rollin', time moves on)
Life flows through this cynic's veins
And I wonder
Why the foolish undertow took me under
Putting wood against the grain is laborious
And yet in life a choice exists for each one of us
What's your choice?
The clock keeps tickin' as the days go by
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
The older you get, the faster it glides
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
Grapple the moment stolen away
You can't go back at the end of the day
The here and now is your now here to stay
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
And it moves on (time keeps rollin', time moves on)
In the face of a crowd, oh I loved it too much
The punch of the drums was a punch in the gut
When I measured a man by the depth of his love
I found that one man stands above
The clock keeps tickin' as the days go by
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
The older you get, the faster it glides
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
Grapple the moment stolen away
You can't go back at the end of the day
The here and now is your now here to stay
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
Time moves on (time keeps rollin', time moves on)
Yeah
The clock keeps tickin' as the days go by
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
The older you get, the faster it glides
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
The fool and his folly, the clash of a clown
Has cashed in his past, for the sake of a crown
To know where you're goin' is worth it all now
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
(Time keeps rollin', time moves on)
