Unfolding to behold, not to behave

Shadows in the cave, phantoms from the fire

And though I try to hold what can't be saved

I am the slave, time is the master telling me to

Measure miles and mark my days

Feel each moment slip away, feel each moment slip away

Straight through our fingers

Though we feel it go away faster

It come, it come, it come

So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done
