"Old Man Time"
(O.A.R. / Marc Roberge)

I have been falling again for so long. For 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 & me, aren't where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewhere on the seventh sea
I found Time, at 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 around unclothed
Heated to the bone I'm bare-boned
Bare-boned 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 & me, aren't where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewher on an endless sea
I found Time, at 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 comin' round
Gonna see me with Time

It seems to me, you & me, aren't where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewher on an endless sea
I found Time, at 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
Mr. Old Man Time

You're not too far for me
I've waited my life for jus a minute to see
