I've been waiting for your letter The one you said you sent last week Too many mistakes in the address Life is bittersweet I'm standing at the station Train coming soon I'm told Things get better down the line It's been a long hard road Time keeps slipping away I lost another hour today I was waiting on you, what do I do Time keeps slipping away I'm a man of the world Waiting for the night to fall 'Cause the night life is the life I live When time means nothing at all Time keeps slipping away I lost another hour today I was waiting on you, what do I do Time keeps slipping away So I'm standing on the platform Train came rolling by Six o'clock in the morning Sun's already hanging high It shines on me and says hey, there What are you going to do today? Well, I'm sure not hanging around this place My time keeps slipping away Time keeps slipping away Time keeps slipping away Time keeps slipping away Time keeps slipping away Time keeps slipping away Time keeps slipping away Time keeps slipping away
