Des'ree
Time
Look at the time, it's after five
Soon the day is over. Mr. Magic,
Said we'd meet before the rise
I recall when sixty minutes used to be an hour
As usual I find myself reading skies
Never mind, I said to myself
Never, never mind, I'm not all by myself
Many have these feelings,
They remain on the shelf
How can I be sure?
Time, oh time. Yes, I need more time
Why do you keep on slipping away?
I hear the wind chimes, jangle in my mind
Oh how I wish you'd stay
Sitting around, I hear no sound
Only the clock is ticking. Seconds turn
To minutes, purely on their own
When asleep and all is dark,
I spend my dreaming wishing,
I got a feelin', I'm not all alone
Got a feelin', yes, I'm reelin'. I am tryin',
But I'm lying to myself
When I'm sitting and I'm thinking
How can I be sure? How can I be sure?
