Time’s Heartless Blues

(Verse 1)

Well, I woke up this mornin’,
With the weight of years upon my soul.
Time slipped through my fingers,
Like sand in an old dusty hourglass.

(Chorus)

Oh, time, oh time,
Why you gotta be so cruel?
You stole my youth, my dreams,
Left me with these blues.

(Verse 2)

I’ve seen lovers come and go,
Promises fade like smoke in the wind.
Memories haunt me like a ghost,
And regrets dance in the moonlight.

(Chorus)

Oh, time, oh time,
Why you gotta be so cruel?
You stole my youth, my dreams,
Left me with these blues.

(Bridge)

I tried to hold on tight,
But time slipped away like water through my hands.
Now I’m sittin’ here, singin’ my sorrow,
As the clock ticks on, relentless and unkind.

(Chorus)

Oh, time, oh time,
Why you gotta be so cruel?
You stole my youth, my dreams,
Left me with these blues.

(Outro)

So I’ll pour another glass of whiskey,
And let the notes of my guitar weep.
Maybe in the next life,
Time won’t be such a heartless thief.
