Lyrics
Time is a joker who'll follow you down
Make a fool out of you as he laughs
Time is a thief, it takes what it needs
Run you right down 'til you crash
Time is a hunter who watches and waits
And he's a king and he rules with his fist
Yeah, time is a panther just stalking his prey
Try and run, you'll just find that you're his
Yeah, he'll tease you and taunt you, his eyes hide the truth
And leave you longing for better days and mountains of youth
But each day that I live and each year I slide by
Is a victory for a man with time on his side
Yeah, time is a river, starts deep underground
And it provides and saves lives as it runs
It's just like the highway you follow forever
You'll know every mile when the journey is done
Time is a canyon you die just to cross
And it's a lighthouse that points the way home
Time is a drifter that catches your eye
And a lover that might leave you alone
Yeah, time is a child who smiles and surprises
He's a soldier with blood on his hands
Time is an old man whose skin grows so thick
Like a wanderer lost in the lands
But someday these mountains will break down to sand
And you cannot outlive what you can't understand
And each line and each wrinkle that grows on my face
Is proof that a man can survive in this place
Yeah, time is a joker who waits in the wings
And he'll chase you and watch 'til you fall
Yeah, but just like a joker, it's all in the game
And if you write your own rules, the winner takes all
