Lucinda Williams - Time Waits for No One 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 wait's for no one
And it won't wait for me
And time wait's for no one
And it won't wait for me

Time can tear down a building
Or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds don't let them waste

Time wait's for no one no favors has he
Time wait's for no one
And it won't wait for me

Men, they build towers to their passing
Yes, to their fame everlasting
Here he comes chopping and reaping
Hear him laugh at their cheating

And time wait's for no man
And it won't wait for me
Yes, time wait's for no one
And it won't wait for me

Drink in your summer gather your corn
The dreams of the night time
We will vanish by dawn

But time wait's for no one
And it won't wait for me
And time wait's for no one
And it won't wait for me
No, no, no, not for me, no, not for me
