verse 1 Unfolding to behold, not to behave Shadows in the cave, phantoms from the fire And though I try to hold what can't be saved I am the slave, time is the master telling me to Measure miles and mark my days Feel each moment slip away, feel each moment slip away Straight through our fingers Though we feel it go away faster It come, it come, it come So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo verse 2 So oh we rise and fall upon its way From cradle to the grave, from before to after And no we never know what we have named I think that we have tamed, time is the master Though we feel it go away faster It come, it come, it come So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo Chorus ooo ooo ooo, Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo Telling me to Measure miles and mark my days Feel each moment slip away, feel each moment slip away Straight through our fingers Though we feel it go away faster It come, it come, it come So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo end on
