Like a little grain of sand
Tried to hold it in your hand
But time got away from you
Time got away from you
It might leave you broken hearted
And it's strange 'cause it just started
But time got away from you
Time got away from you
So we sit in a field of flower
That's how we pass the hour
Anything to keep it easy
Conversation light and breezy
'til time gets away from you
Time gets away from you
Like a little grain of sand
Tried to hold it in your hand
But time got away from you
Time got away from you
Need a place to meet discreetly
Where I could kiss you sweetly
While time gets away from you
Time gets away from you
And when life seems to speed by
I can stop and look in your eyes
Feels like minutes, days, and years
'til you whisper in my ear
How time got away from you
Time got away from you
Like a little grain of sand
Tried to hold it in your hand
But time got away from you
Time got away from you
Running up the old stone path
You swore you'd get there fast
But time got away from you
Time got away from you
Now the field is filled with bramble
And there's nowhere left to ramble
And you said it'd work out just fine
How wounds heal all of the time
But time got away from you
Yeah, time got away from you
