Donna Hughes Father Time Lyrics

Father Time Lyrics

The wind is blowing, through the pines

Always stealing from me, Father Time

Taking from me, what was never mine

One more day, one more night



Always longing for the past

Taking for granted, the time at hand

Every moment like shifting sand

Leaving weary, the strongest man



Many fortunes have been gained and lost

Upon the ocean, many ships have crossed

Many brilliant souls have lived and died

At the hands of Father Time



I'm not promised another day

Still I'm reckless and time I waste

All my tears cried in vain

Gaining wisdom as beauty fades

Gaining wisdom as beauty fades



Many seasons have now come and gone

Fleeting memories overwhelm my soul

And as the hands of fate, twist and unwind

I'm at the mercy of Father Time
