Lyrics Time and Life - Strawbs

Time and Life

Time is the power
The enemy hour
The soul survivor of the news
The headlines
Life is a friend
I value its end
For I can take it when I choose
The deadlines
Time and life
Will meet at dawn
The swords have been drawn
For the takers
Time has no heart
It wins from the start
Was I so foolish
As to try to ignore it
Life is complete
And proud in defeat
At last I understand
Why I adore it
Time and life
Fight to the end
But life has to bend
To her makers
