O.A.R. › Lyrics › Old Man Time

I have been fallin' again for so long, so long
I've been off that track, there's a mystery in that and it's strong
But once more I'm askin' for your time
A few between the two then I'm gone
I don't think I'll be comin' back, I'm not comin' back

It seems to me, you and me ain't where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewhere on the seventh sea
I found time, at least I thought I did
You slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip
So this day that I stood my ground, wait for Old Man Time

Once again a day's flown by and the journey roads get hot
So hot, I'm walkin' around unclothed
Heated to the bone, I'm bare-boned, bare-boned, I'm thrown
Dethroned again, I missed the man by a minute again
But next time gonna have my shot, gonna see me with time

It seems to me, you and me ain't where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewhere on an endless sea
I found time, at least I thought I did
You slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip

So this day that I stood my ground
You saw me lost but forget it, I'm found
Right here at the Black Rock, lay your cards down
Mr. Old Man Time

Oh, I tracked you down, old man
When I walk at night I see you and I follow you old man
But the Black Rock is never too far away
I'm dying just to hear what you say
So next time I'll be comin' round, gonna see me with time

It seems to me, you and me ain't where we're supposed to be
We're lost somewhere on an endless sea
I found time, at least I thought I did
You slipped away, yeah you slipped my grip

So this day that I stood my ground
You think you lost me but forget it, I'm found
So right here at the Black Rock, lay your cards down
Old Man Time

You're not too far for me
I've waited my life, just a minute to see
