Lost In Time

LOST IN TIME

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

JULY 2018

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TIME GOES

YOU CAN SEE IT FLYING BY 

WHEN ITS GONE, ITS GONE

IT NEVER LINGERS ON

TAKE YOU WITH IT IF ITS TIME

WE'RE ALL RUNNING OUT

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

ALL THE TIME, THAT I WASTED

ON LOVE THAT WASN'T REAL

I STAYED TOO LONG

I FELT MORE THAN I SHOULD

EACH TIME IT ALL CAME DOWN

LIKE A HOUSE OF CARDS

TUMBLING TO THE FLOOR

TIMES UP THERE ISN'T ANYMORE  

IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING

A FOOLISH WASTE OF TIME

JUST WISH IT WASN'T MINE

EVERYTHING TAKES TIME

SOME THINGS TAKE

 MORE THAN OTHERS

AND SOME THINGS

DON'T WORK OUT AS PLANNED

YOU WAKE UP ONE DAY

AND THINGS ARE OUT OF HAND

SO MANY DREAMS LOST IN TIME

STRUNG OUT LIKE THE STARS

ALL IN A LINE

TIME WENT OUT THE WINDOW

FLEW AWAY ON A COOL BREEZE

PRETTY AS YOU PLEASE

I PRAY I STILL HAVE TOMORROW

I HOPE I STILL HAVE TIME

TO SALVAGE WHAT'S LEFT

OF MY DREAMS

BY THE TIME YOU REALIZE

HOW PRECIOUS IS TIME

SO MUCH HAS PASSED YOU BY

THEY SAY THERE'S ALWAYS TIME

ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT

HOURS TURN INTO DAYS

DAYS TURN INTO WEEKS

YEARS ROLL BY, I'VE SEEN THEM FLY

JUST BELIEVE THERE'S TIME

LOOK INTO THESE EYES

SEE THE FIRE GROWING DIM

ONCE UPON A TIME

I USED TO THINK

 THE WORLD WAS MINE

I USED TO THINK I

HAD LOTS OF TIME

TO GET THE THINGS I NEED

BOY WAS I WRONG

TIME MOVES ALONG

 LIKE WATER FLOWING

WHEN ITS GONE, ITS GONE

NO ONE EVER SAID

 IT TOOK TOO LONG

THE YEARS WENT BY TOO SLOW

WHERE DID THEY GO

LOST IN TIME

STRUNG OUT LIKE THE STARS

UP IN THE SKY

ONE DAY YOU WAKE UP

AND YOUR TIME IS NEARLY THROUGH 

YOU'RE LOST IN TIME
