LYRICS:

Time, why do you punish me?

Like a wave bashing into the shore

You wash away my dreams.



Time, why do you walk away?

Like a friend with somewhere to go

You left me crying



Can you teach me about tommorrow

And all the pain and sorrow

Running free?

Cause tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in time



Time, I don't understand

Children killing in the street

Dying for the color of a rag

Time, hey there red and blue

Wash them in the ocean, make them clean,

Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight



Can you teach me about tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow

Running free?

But tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in...



chorus:



Time is wasting

Time is walking

You ain't no friend of mine

I don't know where i'm goin'

I think I'm out of my mind

Thinking about time



And if I die tomorrow, yeah

Just lay me down in sleep



(chorus)



Time, you left me standing there

Like a tree growing all alone

The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare

Time, the past has come and gone

The future's far away

Now only lasts for one second, one second

Can you teach me about tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow

Running free?

'Cause tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in time



(chorus)



Time, why you punish me?
