Verse 1

Unfolding to behold, not to behave

Shadows in the cave, phantoms from the fire

And though I try to hold what can't be saved

I am the slave, time is the master telling me to

Measure miles and mark my days

Feel each moment slip away, feel each moment slip away

 Straight through our fingers

Though we feel it go away faster

It come, it come, it come

So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done

Chorus

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

Verse 2

So oh we rise and fall upon its way

From cradle to the grave, from before to after

And no we never know what we have named

I think that we have tamed, time is the master

Though we feel it go away faster

It come, it come, it come

So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done

Chorus

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

hammer on

Chorus

 ooo ooo ooo, Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

Telling me to

Measure miles and mark my days

Feel each moment slip away, feel each moment slip away

 Straight through our fingers

Though we feel it go away faster

It come, it come, it come

So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done

Chorus

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

end on A
