Time Waits for No One Lucinda Williams

[Verse 1]
Yes, star-crossed in pleasure
The stream flows on by
Yes, as we're sated in leisure
We watch it fly, yes

[Chorus]
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

[Verse 2]
Time can tear down a building
Or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds
Don't let them waste

[Chorus]
Time waits for no one
No favors has he
Time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

[Verse 3]
Men, they build towers to their passing
Yes, to their fame everlasting
Here he comes chopping and reaping
Hear him laugh at their cheating
