Zomer - Of Time Lyrics

Between the tick and the tock
I beat the drum of my heart
Between the in and the out
It is the drum of my time
It is the drum of my life

Each life and death
Good and bad
Spins in a circle of time
In and out of breath

Minutes and hours of each day
Blend into weeks and months and years
All flow like water through your hands
The sips you get don't ever quench your thirst

You always conjure up some plan
To buy more time or save it
Nostalgia's still your favourite game
'Cause you cannot catch the river in a bucket

And round it goes
Day and night
One hand ahead one behind
Fast and slow

And up it goes
And down it falls
Up again the pendulum swings
Back and forth

You always look into your past
But set your sight on your tomorrow
You claim you're living here and now
Ignore the fact your time is borrowed

You never doubt time's on your side
Oblivious that you're in a rate race
You're busy running after stuff
Until the clock shows you its real face

You think each day you get ahead
But you're just running in a circle

The young are getting old
The old are getting young
A child begins to grow
A man begins to die

You think you got the time
And hope you keep the score
But time is in control
Holding the keys to evermore

Life goes on and on we go
As in and out of time we float

You think each day you get ahead
But you're just running in a circle
The hourglass flips upside down
And each grain of sand is slipping
Through your fingers

The young are getting old
The old are getting young
A child begins to die
A man begins to grow
You think you got the time
And hope you keep the score
But time is in control
Holding the keys to evermore

Life goes on and on we go
As in and out of time we float

And round it goes
Day and night
One hand ahead one behind
Quick and slow

Each life and death
Happy or sad
Spins in a circle of time
In and out of breath

And up it goes
And down it falls
Up again the pendulum swings
Back and forth

And still it stands
As fast it goes
One moment lasts for ages
And a lifetime's gone

Between the tick and the tock
I beat the drum of my life
Between the in and the out
It is the drum of my time
