You fix your gaze on the New Year's Calendar,
another sad and lonely year is through
Behold all the stuff that you wanted to do
now it lacks all single trace of splendour.

TIME TIME TIME TIME
another minute dies.

You wanted to marry a nice woman
settle down in a comfy house ashore
seemed to be followed by an omen
that sought you from days of yore.

TIME TIME TIME TIME
steals one bit of life.

You wanted to be famous and rich
conquer all the parts of the universe
all your colossal eefforts in a ditch
after meeting unexpected reverse.

TIME TIME TIME TIME
less valuable than a dime.

They say time will make you wiser
as the years inure your temper
But you've never felt so miser
nor your soul so distempered.

TIME TIME TIME TIME
Every tick means a crime.

I wanted to be cleverer than time
wanted to cheat him for a while
but he's taught me tha it's vile
to cheat who does not fathom rhyme

TIME TIME TIME TIME
Even when I write, you take what's mine.
