EmFather time, I'm running late
EmI'm winding down, I'm growing tired
EmSeconds drift into the night
EmThe clock just ticks 'til my time expires
  CYou were once my friBend
  CNow I know I can't Btie your haEmnds
[Verse]
EmThe days I saved I couldn't spend
EmThey fell like sand through the hourglass
EmNo time to lose, no time to choose
