My friends taught me the words,
copied down from listening to Donovan on
tv about 1970. Never seen a written version,
so not sure if it is totally correct.
Time is on the run,
Time is in the singing,
Songs that must be sung.
A man I knew as a child, once grown has never been years younger
And yet he believes when his eyes are a watery gray,
That he found the way and lost it,
He forgot to find the way.
La,la, la in the country air Note:(la, la la is not correct)
The autumn of summer is calling
No evergreen tree can keep your attention long
Because it's lost in the colors surrounding it and the colors can never be found.
Stand apart as people do,
Never touch one another,
And to hear them say
Words that must be said,
To each other, never ending
Never giving, never bending
And learning to live for living
And learning to give for giving
And learning to live for today.
Time is on the run
Time is in the singing
