lyrics

When I was a little boy
Playing by the sea
I stood before my castle
Right in front of me
The tide was coming in
My mother tried to tell me
It wouldn't last forever
Time is what befell me

As it does to everyone
Time keeps ticking away

When I was a younger man
I girl came to see
I gave to her a promise
That meant the world to me
That's why I was shattered
When she broke my heart
In time I did recover
Time began to heal me

As it does for everyone
Time keeps ticking away

Time is a magic
At times it moves so slow
If you try to hold it
the faster it will go
time's full of moments
They're all we know

When I held my little boy
And he looked up at me
I knew it was a moment
Time had ceased to be

As it does for everyone
Time is here to stay
As it does for everyone
Time keeps ticking away
...
