Randy Brown - Tempus Fugit Lyrics

I have the clock my grand-dad wound
Two latin words are on its face
Tempus fugit is what it says
It means time flies

Time it is the wildest bird
It flutters just beyond your reach
It does not argue judge or preach
No time just flies

Chorus
Tempus fugit, time flies
The night falls, the wind dies
Tempus fugit, time flies
Wing beats pierce the pitch black sky
Time flies

Time it is a bird of prey
That stoops and strikes your precious things
And carries them on mighty wings
Yes, time flies

Bridge
A feathered flash that swoops and glides
The moments of my life wing by
Till in the blinking of an eye
It all just flies, life flies
And time just flies away
