A Life - Pearls Before Swine[00:00:01]
The clock has metal hands[00:00:10]
It throws the hours down[00:00:13]
On the ground with a thud[00:00:16]
The sound of blood[00:00:20]
And if you do not forgive me[00:00:22]
I do not know[00:00:25]
What I will do[00:00:29]
As the time goes by[00:00:31]
As the time goes by[00:00:35]
In the spring when he was born[00:00:37]
The soil was soft and good and warm[00:00:39]
His father was a farmer[00:00:42]
The son of the sun[00:00:44]
Said the earth don't wait for a man but once[00:00:45]
And if you do not believe me[00:00:49]
I do not know[00:00:51]
What I will do[00:00:55]
And the time goes by[00:00:57]
And the time goes by[00:01:00]
When he was a boy the fields were full[00:01:01]
The girls were soft and good and warm[00:01:04]
The morning sun was shining[00:01:07]
Like a promise in his eyes[00:01:10]
And if you do not deceive me[00:01:13]
I do not know[00:01:16]
What I will do[00:01:20]
And the time goes by[00:01:22]
And the time goes by[00:01:25]
When he was a man he worked with his hands[00:01:27]
The ground was hard but a place to stand[00:01:30]
But when the autumn came around[00:01:33]
The oxen plowed the land to ridges in the ground[00:01:36]
And the wrinkles in his face[00:01:39]
Like the beaten road showed[00:01:40]
In a man's body[00:01:42]
Is where the time goes[00:01:43]
And if you do not defeat me[00:01:47]
I do not know[00:01:51]
What I will do[00:01:54]
And the time goes by[00:01:57]
And the time goes by[00:02:00]
He gave to the earth and it gave back[00:02:01]
'Till he had nothing to give at last[00:02:04]
The trembling of his marbled hands[00:02:07]
Showed he knew[00:02:10]
What the earth demanded[00:02:11]
As it waited for him[00:02:15]
And the time goes by[00:02:18]
The clock has metal hands[00:02:20]
It throws the hours down[00:02:23]
On the ground with a thud[00:02:26]
The sound of blood[00:02:29]
And if you do not forgive me[00:02:32]
I do not know[00:02:35]
What I will do[00:02:38]
As the time goes by[00:02:41]
As the time goes by[00:02:44]
As the time goes by[00:02:47]
