Time

Hootie & the Blowfish

Album: Cracked Rear View



Time, why you punish me?

Like a wave crashing into the shore

You wash away my dreams

Time, why you walk away? oh, oh

Like a friend with somewhere to go

You left me crying



And you'll teach me 'about tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow running free?

'Cause tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in time



Time, I don't understand

Children killing in the streets

Dying for the color of a rag

Time, leave you red and blue

Wash them in the ocean, make them clean

Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight



2-Can you teach me 'about tomorrow

With all the pain and sorrow running free?

And tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in...



1-Time is wasted, time walking

Time, time

You ain't no friend of mine

I don't know where I'm going

I think I'm out of my mind

Thinking about time



And if I die tomorrow, yeah

Then lay me down to sleep

(rpt 1)



Time, you left me standing there

Like a tree growing all alone

The wind just stripped me bare

Stripped me bare

Time, the past has come and gone, gone

The future's far away

An hour only lasts for one second, one second

(rpt 2, 1, 1)



Time without courage, time without fear

Is just wasted, wasted, wasted time

Oh, oh, oh, ooh ooh ooh



Time, why you punish me?
