Time Waits For No One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Loneliness can lock you up
Like prison walls around your heart
You waste away, you fall apart
The seconds tick away and the world is turning
So take me in your arms while the need is burning, baby
Time, time waits for no-one
Especially me, baby - don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no-one
So what about it - do you wanna run away with me?
Your tender words release my soul
You move so strong, you've got to know
Your eyes reveal that maybe we should try
The walls won't come down unless you open fire
We gotta make a move 'cause you can't deny it, baby
Time, time waits for no-one
Especially me, baby - don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no-one
So what about it - do you wanna run away, run away, run away?
You can run from me, but you can't run from yourself
You'd only lose what you really want to love
(It's a sad, sad story), it's always the same
If you don't take chances, there's nothing to gain
Run away, run away
The walls won't come down unless you open fire
We gotta make a move - can't deny it
Time, time waits for no-one, oh, oh
Especially me, baby - don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no-one
So what about it - do you wanna run away, run away, run away?
Take me in your arms
(Time time) waits for no-one, ooh
So what about it - do you wanna run away, run away, run away?
