Time And Life

Strawbs - Time And Life



(Time is the power

The enemy hour

The soul survivor of the news

The headlines.



Life is a friend

I value its end

For I can take it when I choose

The deadlines.



Time and life

Will meet at dawn

The swords have been drawn

For the takers.



Time has no heart

It wins from the start

Was I so foolish

As to try to ignore it.



Life is complete

And proud in defeat

At last I understand

Why I adore it.



Time and life

Fight to the end

But life has to bend

To her makers.
