Passing Time
We stare out at the horizon an’ watch the red sun rise, oh oh.
Splashing color on the robins wing, it put the blue in the skies, oh oh.
Dancing down from the Heavens above into your sparklin’ eyes, oh oh.
It just make me remember now why the angel cries, oh oh.
I don’t know where we goin’ but I think everything gonna be fine, oh oh.
Long as I got you. You and me and the Passing Time, oh oh.
Oh, the Passing Time, oh oh. Oh …
Kickin’ back in the morning time. Floatin’ on the breeze, oh oh.
Listening to the summer wind rustlin’ the leaves on the trees, oh oh.
Ah but I thought time was a friend of mine so I been doin’ what I please, oh oh.
Winter gonna come soon enough. Everything gonna freeze, oh oh.
- Chorus -
Riding a chariot of fire now. Blazing across the sky, oh oh.
Watching the pattern melt away on the wings of the butterfly, oh oh.
Knowing everything that you lovin’ now sometime gonna die, oh oh.
So raise another glass with me my friends. We let tomorrow fly, oh oh.
- Chorus -
The sands are runnin’ though the hourglass, pourin’ without a sound, oh oh.
Massive waves are crashin’ down. You can hear them pound, oh oh.
The birds of prey have lost their wings, They’re feedin’ on the ground.
Everybody tappin’ on your time now, spinnin’ your head around, oh oh.
I don’t know where we goin’ but I think everything gonna be fine, oh oh.
Long as I got you. You and me and the Passing Time, oh oh.
Oh, the Passing Time, oh oh. Oh, oh, Passing Time.

NOTES: I wrote this song between 11 PM and midnight on February 6, 2013, ... Bob Marleyt's birthday. It is inspired by the music of Bob Marley and a David Bowie concert that I attended in England in the 1970's. It is focused on the apparent acceleration of time as it goes by and the events we observe as it passes, fooling us in to believing that it lasts forever.
