Time Don't Pass by Here

歌詞

Last night I dreamed I laid me down and died And lots of people came and signed their name But only a few of them cried They put me in a big pine box And dropped me in a deep dark hole And the preacher said a prayer for my lost soul Well they covered me up and left me there to rot And the guy next to me said, "Friend, I see That's a mighty fine box you've got" He seemed kind of friendly So I asked him the time of day I heard him laughing Then I know I heard the devil say Time don't pass by here no more Just empty space and fear No plane to fly, no wine to pour Only pain to replace the tears You can never recall your memories You can never retrace the years You'll cry but no one hears 'Cause time don't pass by here Well, I woke up And wiped a tear away from my eye And me and Mary Jane made a paper plane Just to see how high we'd fly She's just like each passing day She's there and then she's gone And I'm the one that's always gettin' stoned Seems it's hard for me to find where I belong But I think that I'm the happiest When I'm singing the saddest songs When it comes my turn to die And when I'm really gone I hope the devil writes these words Upon my tombstone Time don't pass by here no more Just empty space and fear No plane to fly, no wine to pour Only pain to replace the tears You can never recall your memories You can never retrace the years You'll cry but no one hears 'Cause time don't pass by here You'll cry but no one hears 'Cause time don't pass by here
