It's coming round again Slowly creeping hand Of time and its command Soon enough it comes And settles in its place Its shadow in my face Puts pressure in my day This life well it's slipping right through my hands These days turned out nothing like I had planned It's coming round again The slowly creeping hand Of time and its command It settles in its place Its shadow in my face Puts pressure in my day Soon enough it comes Here it is again Slowly creeping hand Time and it's command Soon enough it comes Settles in it's place It's shadow in my face Undignified and lame This life well it's slipping right through my hands These days turned out nothing like I had planned Control well it's slipping right through my hands These days turned out nothing like I had planned Soon enough it comes Soon enough it comes Too tie us down It's coming round again Slow, slowly creeping hand This life well it's slipping right through my hand These days turned out nothing like I had planned Control well it's slipping right through my hand These days turned out nothing like I had planned
