Time Is Not On Our Side Lyrics
Caught up in a spinnin’ world, long lost out of control
Yesterday, has come and gone, but time has left me alone
Take me, take me, away
Show me, show me, the way
Caught up in a spinnin’ world, long lost out of control
Yesterday, has come and gone, but time has left me alone.
Take me, take me, away
Show me, show me, the way
Time, is not on our side, oh no
Cause when the time is right, it always lets you go
Time, is not on our side, oh no
When the feelings are there, you’ll never, ever know
Time can change the meaning of life, questions never resolved.
A mystery conceived in the mind, reality doesn’t belong
Take me, take me, away
Show me, show me, the way
Time, is not on our side, oh no
Cause when the time is right, it always lets you go
Time, is not on our side, oh no
When the feelings are there, you’ll never, ever know
Time, is not on our side, oh no
Cause when the time is right, it always lets you go
Time, is not on our side, oh no
When the feelings are there, you’ll never, ever know
Time, is not on our side, oh no
Time, is not on our side,
Time, is not on our side, oh no
Time, is not on our side.
