Minutes turn to days
Sunsets fade away
Shadows grow to grey
Life's a winding play
Years like pages torn
Memories are worn
Faces we have known
Now they're overgrown
Time waits for no one
Gone before it's done
Listen to the hum
Echoes of what's gone
Footsteps in the sand
Moments like quicksand
Holding to your hand
History unmanned
Clock hands spin so fast
Trying to make it last
Future becomes past
Nothing here can last
Stars light up the night
Silent in their flight
Whispers in the light
Fading out of sight
