Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surelyÂÂ
means that I don't
Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away
Well hello there,
It's been a long long time
How you doin, How I'm doin
I guess I'm doin' fine,
It's been so long,
but it seems it was only yesterday,
Ain't in funny how time slips away...
How's your new love, How's your new love,
I hope he's doin' fine,
I heard you told him always,
That you'll love him till the end of time
Now thats the same thing you told me,
It seems like just the other day,
Ain't it funny how time slips away...
I'm going to now,
But i guess I'll get around
I don't when though, I don't know,
When I'll be back in town,
But remember, what i'd tell you,
In time your gonna pay,
Ain't it funny how time slips away...
How its surprizing, how time slips away
I'm just sitting on the dock in the bay,
Watching the tide roll away,
Ain't it funny how time slips away....
