[Verse 1]
Once you were a young man
Now you are old
You're over the hill
And you can't cross the palm of time's hand
Silver and gold
To make him stand still

[Verse 2]
Who could've possibly thought
It would go so fast
But it certainly did
And now you find yourself caught
With less future than past
You're no longer a kid

[Bridge]
Once as a boy time weighed heavy on your hand
You couldn't wait to be a man

[Verse 3]
And now you cry, oh, it's so hard to laugh
And you can't understand
Why you can't turn time round
Your hourglass once had a top half
That was filled full of sand
But it's all trickled down
