Time lyrics

Today I�m closing up the house
cause it don�t feel like home
the harder twilight pulls at me
the less I wanna go
They say that all the streets of heaven
are paved with gold
that�s just to hurry up us folks
that get too old

Time gets me wound up
like a clock inside my head
Time gets me spinning my own wheels
and when I think that there ain�t one more inch
this worn out heart can give
Time�s gonna teach me how it feels

Watch your hands they don�t get caught
I�m �bout to close this door
you bright young kids are all I got
and now I know what for
you�ll see that love�s the only thing
we�ve go to show
time will just run out but love I know

Time gets you wound up
like a clock inside your head
Time gets you spinning your own wheels
and while you�re losing what you found
you�re finding out that�s what you need
Time�s gonna teach you how it feels

I know your father�s watching
he�s saving me a place right by his side
and that you don�t like to hear that kind of talk
but it ain�t up to me to hide
don�t make it hard for me to go
don�t make it hard for me

This house has seen some fifty years
atop the same old soil
but houses are just houses child
its people are what�s loyal
you�ll see that love�s the only thing
we�ve got to show
Time will just run out but love I know

Time gets you wound up
like a clock inside your head
Time gets you spinning your own wheels
and while you�re losing what you found
you�re finding out that�s what you need
Time�s gonna teach you how it feels
