i have been falling again for so long   so long, i've been off that track   there's a mystery in that and it's strong   but once more i'm asking for your time   a few between the two, then i'm gone   i don't think i'll be coming back   i'm not coming back      it seems to me, you and me   where we're supposed to be   we're lost somewhere on the seventh sea   i found time, least i thought i did   you slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip   so this day that i stood my ground   wait for old man time      once again a day's flown by on a journey roads get hot so hot, i'm walking round unclothed   heated to the bone, bareboned   bareboned, i'm thrown, dethroned again   i missed the man by a minute again   but next time gonna have my shot   gonna see me with time      it seems to me, you and me   where we're supposed to be   we're lost somewhere on a endless sea   i found time, least i thought i did   you slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip   so this day that i stood my ground   you saw me lost, but forget it, i'm found   right here at the black rock lay your cards down   mr. old man time      oh, i tracked you down old man   when i walk at night i see you and i follow you old man   but the black rock is never too far away   i'm dying just to hear what you say   so next time i'll be coming round gonna see me with time      it seems to me, you and me   where we're supposed to be   we're lost somewhere on an endless sea   i found time, least i thought i did   you slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip   so this day that i stood my ground   you think you lost me, but forget it, i'm found   so right here at the black rock lay your cards down   old man time   you're not too far from me   i've waited my life just a minute to see
