Time Runs Away

Time runs away, like a kid with a stolen pie
And try as you may, you&aposll never catch this guy
You can smell where he&aposs been, you can taste his scent on the breeze
But if he were your friend, he&aposd stop and give you a piece

And all I can say
Time runs away
Running like a leaf that&aposs falling
Running like a life that&aposs calling

Time runs away, he jumped over your fence last night
When you woke up today, he was nowhere in sight
He&aposs stolen your car, drove some place where you&aposll never find him
So you stare at the stars, you knew you could never bind him

And all I can say
Time runs away
Running like the rain that&aposs falling
Running like a life that&aposs calling

Time runs away, he&aposs losing his mind again
He&aposs grown old and gray, and he can&apost recognize his friends
So you stare in his eyes, looking for someone that you knew
Until you realize that he&aposs not looking back at you

All I can say
Time runs away
Running like the snow that&aposs falling
Running like a life that&aposs calling

Can you hear it call?
