Time and Life - Strawbs

Time is the power

The enemy hour

The soul survivor of the news

The headlines

Life is a friend

I value its end

For I can take it when I choose

The deadlines

Time and life

Will meet at dawn

The swords have been drawn

For the takers

Time has no heart

It wins from the start

Was I so foolish

As to try to ignore it

Life is complete

And proud in defeat

At last I understand

Why I adore it

Time and life

Fight to the end

But life has to bend

To her makers
