Lyrics: Time
Album: Cracked Rear View
Artist: Hootie & the Blowfish
 
Time, why you punish me? 

Like a wave bashing into the shore 

You wash away my dreams. 

Time, why you walk away? 

Like a friend with somewhere to go 

You left me crying 

Can you teach me about tommorrow 

And all the pain and sorrow 

Running free? 

Cause tomorrow’s just another day 

And I don’t believe in time 

Time, I don’t understand 

Children killing in the street 

Dying for the color of red 

Time, hey there red and blue 

Wash them in the ocean, make them clean, 

Maybe their mothers won’t cry tonight 

Can you teach me about tomorrow 

All the pain and sorrow 

Running free? 

But tomorrow’s just another day 

And I don’t believe in… 

chorus: 
Time is wasting 

Time is walking 

You ain’t no friend of mine 

I don’t know where i’m goin’ 

I think I’m out of my mind 

Thinking about time 

And if I die tomorrow, yeah 

Just lay me down in sleep 

(chorus) 
Time, you left me standing there 

Like a tree growing all alone 

The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare 

Time, the past has come and gone 

The future’s far away 

Now only lasts for one second, one second 

Can you teach me about tomorrow 

And all the pain and sorrow 

Running free? 

‘Cause tomorrow’s just another day 

And I don’t believe in time 

(chorus) 
Time, why you punish me?
