Time Never Goes By

You must remember this

That beds get crumpled skirts get rumpled

And hedges grow up into trees

Cinemas close and the parking lot

Loses its last late Ford

Everything goes by the board

But Time Never Goes By

And when true lovers screw

Novelty wears off the affair’s off

Perfume fades from the air

The bright spinning coin will tarnish and

The miser forget his hoard

Everything goes by the board

But Time Never Goes By

The watch keeps ticking true enough

But time’s glued down to something stronger

It’s a fixture Do enough

But every second’s a second longer

Try your best you’ll be impressed

Every minute has centuries in it

It’s still the same old story

Characters change events rearrange

Plot seems to wear real thin

Coffins call for running men

Hated or adored

Everything goes by the board

But Time Never Goes By
