Time Awaits
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.
Time waits for no man but you
Time waits for no man but you
Hold on don't leave this town
Hold on don't leave this town
There we are
We're that in our hands
They tear you down
Cause they don't understand
You tried it once again
To love me better
She tore those panties down
Love me better
Woo oh oh oh
And like ones and twos and threes and fours
Woo oh oh oh
And I hear you knocking at my door
So hold them down
With blood on your hands
It's past the point
Where you don't understand
The worst you do is lie
Run for shelter
So cast aside these chains
Love me better
Woo oh oh oh
And like ones and twos and threes and fours
Woo oh oh oh
And I hear you knocking at my door
Woo oh oh oh
And like ones and twos and threes and fours
Woo oh oh oh
And I hear you knocking at my door
I hear you knocking at my door darling twenty times or more
I hear you knocking at my door darling twenty times or more
I hear you knocking at my door darling twenty times or more
I hear you knocking at my door darling twenty times or more
