Was it time or was it I? (Song)

1st Verse:

The clouds did not, as I remember, race across the sky;

the bright sun slowly rose and set not like a blinking eye;

and yet so many years have gone; so many years gone by;

was it time I wonder was it time or was it I?

2nd Verse:

Running fast to meet appointments; running fast to catch the train.

If I just feel disappointment; like my life’s swirled down the drain

is it ‘cause the world moved faster; did the snails go flashing by

was it time I wonder; was it time or was it I?

Chorus:

Time is just the slivers in to which we cut our lives

as we struggle to deliver; on a treadmill to survive

rationing our daily pleasure; regimenting all the Earth

as, from birth, we’re weighed and measured and we try to prove our worth.

3rd Verse:

So afraid of getting older and of running out of time;

looking back over my shoulder; seeing death not far behind;

is it ‘cause the grass grew quicker; did the birds like jet-plane’s fly;

was it time, I wonder; was it time or was it I?

4th Verse:

Were the days in such a hurry; did they flash and fade to black

or only begin to scurry once I started looking back

all the pressures put upon me; the clock to which I comply.

Was it time I wonder; was it time or was it I?

Chorus:

Time is just the slivers in to which we cut our lives

as we struggle to deliver; on a treadmill to survive

rationing our daily pleasure; regimenting all the Earth

as, from birth, we’re weighed and measured and we try to prove our worth.
