Time is a Thief
Liner Notes
Lyrics
Time is a thief With sleight of hand Rob you of your youth While you’re still making plans Hourglass flipped In either direction Like a river to the sea It’s flowing around the bend Swim for the shore surrounded by fins What will be will be then it will be what has been Time is a thief
Time is a thief Dressed up as a friend There to let you down Again and again Dig in your heels Future antique Pleading and tears Won’t bring back the weeks Wading in water Can get pretty deep But the sea is still connected To the creek Time is a thief

I really like how you bookmark the title. And the words roll and flow beautifully. Very nice!

That was lovely. Also loved the sound of the recording, very warm and comfy. Great swaying rhythm and melody.

Really lovely. I particularly enjoy that descending and then re-ascending line of bass notes.

Beautiful. Don’t know if there’s an intentional nod to the Milk Carton Kids, but it sure is in that corner (which is great place to be!).

Wow, this is so wonderful. Gives me some Beatles / Cat Stevens vibes. Very beautiful.

Really love the line cliche in the bass notes of the guitar. Your vocal fits the song so well. The sentiment expressed in the lyrics is really poignant. Great job.
