When the heat went out of the day And the breeze came in from the bay We would sit outside for a drink There was time to talk, there was time to think There was time, time to burn And a lesson, a lesson to learn I guess we never learned it There was time to burn, and we burned it A couple of kids and careers And even the night disappears An empty house full of stuff Where once we lived, and we had enough We had time, time to burn And a lesson, a lesson to learn I guess we never learned it There was time to burn, and we burned it Now our lawyers are getting on fine I think yours is smarter than mine We could leave them and just fade away We could have a drink, we could watch the bay As the breeze takes the heat out of the day Time, time to burn And a lesson, a lesson to learn I guess we never learned it Time to burn, and we burned it
