Liner Notes

Lyrics

Time – Mike Delaney, for FAWM25

I don’t like doing nothin’ My day begins before dawn Doing puzzles with my coffee Get moving before too long

Need to get outside Disperse the mental fog Scratching at the door Like an eager dog

Chorus: Time, time, time Only so much time Live my life in motion And end it with a rhyme

Balance work and family Always feel behind Responsibilities mounting Running out of time

In a race with hurdles Every option tried Need to stay healthy Time’s not on my side

Chorus

Running out of time Need to get things done Who knows for how long This race will still be fun

Time is moving faster Less time left for fear Urgency increases Is this my final year?

Bridge: What happens when I’m feeble Can’t care for my wife Growing limitations Balanced on a knife

Chorus x2

Tag: (Slowly) One more rhyme … that would be sublime

I love this. It's so fun and hopeful but also dealing with such a serious topic - just like life! The lyrics are really great and I love the melody you came up with.
