Time doesn't just forever separate the dancer from the dance
Time also separates every singer from his song
For time is what will happen soon
Time doesn't just forever separate the dreamer from the dream
Time also separates every poet from his poetry
For time keeps running away from itself
Time spares no-one but the devil
For he never grows old, hell never gets cold
Time spares no-one but the devil
Today is almost tomorrow
Time doesn't just forever separate the father from the son
Time will eventually seperate you and me
For time outlasts everything1
Time spares no-one but the devil
For he never grows old, hell never gets cold
Time spares no-one but the devil
Today is almost tomorrow
Time - all the time - eternity
Yeah yeah yeah
Time spares no-one but the devil
For he never grows old, hell never gets cold
Time spares no-one but the devil
Today is almost tomorrow
Oh, whoa whoa whoa
Time spares no-one but the devil
For he never grows old, hell never gets cold
Time spares no-one but the devil
Today is almost tomorrow
1. Lit. "time draws the longest line".
