Look at the time, it's after five, soon the day is over
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
When asleep and all is dark, I spend my dreaming wishing
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
Why do you keep on slipping away?
Why do you keep on fleeting away?
Yea yea
Why do you keep on slipping away?
How can I be sure?
When I'm sitting and I'm thinking
Mr.Magic said,"We'd meet before the rise"
I get in right, I follow through
Time oh time, yes I need more time
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
I find myself, I'm relying on you sometimes
I'm trying but I'm lying to myself
Oh how I wish you will stay
Seconds turn to minutes purely on their own
Oh how I wish you could stay
Oh how I wish you will stay
Never, never mind, I'm not owned by myself
Got a feeling, yes I'm reeling
I got a feeling I'm not all alone
Yea yea yea yea
Sitting around I hear no sound, only the clock is ticking
How can I be sure?
Many have these feelings, they remain on the shelf
How can I be sure?
Oh, time oh time, yes I need more time
I hear the wind chimes jangle in my mind
"Never mind", I said to myself
Oh how I wish you will stay
As usual I find myself reading sky
Time oh time, yes I need more time
Time oh time, yes I need more time
Time oh time, umpteens I have to time
I recall when 60 minutes used to be an hour
Oh how I wish you stay
Why do you keep on fleeting away?
Oh, time oh time, what can I do?
