Lyrics
Yes, star-crossed in pleasure, the stream flows on by
Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly, yes
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
Time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
Hour can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste
Time waits for no one
No favours has he
Time waits for no one
And he won't wait for me
Hey, ah
Ta, ta-di-da-di-da
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Men, they build hours to their passing years
To their fame everlasting
Here he comes chopping and reaping
Hear him laugh at their cheating
Time waits for no man
And it won't wait for me
Yes, time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
Drink in your summer, gather your corn
The dreams of the nighttime will vanish by dawn
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
Time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
No, no, no, not for me
No, not for me
