Where are you walking, Ive seen you walking Have you been there before? Walk down your doorsteps, youll take some more steps What did you take them for? Theres a private in my boat and he wears Pins instead of medals on his coat Theres a chicken in my nest and she wont Lay until Ive given her my best At her request she asks for nothing You get nothing in return If you want she brings you water If you dont then you will burn
Verse 2:
You go through changes, it may seem strange Is this what youre put here for? You think youre happy and you are happy Thats what youre happy for Theres a man who cant decide if he should Fight for what his father thinks is right There are people wearing frowns wholl screw you up But they would rather screw you down At my request I ask for nothing You get nothing in return If youre nice shell bring me water If youre not then I will burn
--- part ii (2:20) ---
Verse 1:
This is the time and life that I am living And Ill face each day with a smile For the time that Ive been givens such a little while And the things that I must do consist of more than style [1: there are places that I am going 4: therell be time for you to start all over]
Verse 2:
This is the only thing that I am sure of And thats all that lives is gonna die And therell always be some people here to wonder why And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye Therell be time for you to put yourself on
Verse 3:
Everything Ive seen needs rearranging And for anyone who thinks its strange Then you should be the first to want to make this change And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game Do you like the part youre playing
Bridge (4:03):
I see your picture Its in the same old frame We meet again You look so lovely You with the same old smile Stay for a while I need you so, oh, oh, oh, oh And if you take it easy Im still teethin I wanna love you, but Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[repeat verse 1]
This is the time and this is the time and It is time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time...
