Older chests reveal themselves Like a crack in a wall Starting small, and grow in time And we always seem to need the help Of someone else To mend that shelf Too many books Read me your favorite line
Papa went to other lands And he found someone who understands The ticking, and the western man's need to cry He came back the other day, you know Some things in life may change And some things They stay the same
Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time
Older gents sit on the fence With their cap in hand
Looking grand They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems, Louder than before Out of doors, and into stores with bigger names Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces And daddy lost at the races too many times
She broke down the other day, yeah you know Some things in life may change
But some things they stay the same

just give me time and i'll grow
