Lyrics of No One

He waits for no one, no favors has he
Time waits for no one and he won't wait for me


Time is a mighty river, can it ever run dry?
Will it last forever like the earth and the sky?
We were young then, the river flowed on by
Time meant nothing to us, we would watch it fly

See the young couple, so in love from the start
Father Time will soon step up and tear that love apart
And he waits for no one, no favors has he
Time waits for no one and he won't wait for me. Oh yea.

Yes-we were young as the clouds drifted on by
Enjoying our youth and all its pleasures as we watched it fly
No thought of tomorrow, only today
Father Time was already, already on his way. Yes he was.

Go ahead, put up your structures, and build a whole new town
Hear Him laugh as he's chopping and tearing them down
No pity has time he will destroy a whole new place
The hours are precious and must never go to waste

Plant your seeds in the springtime, gather them by fall
As the days grow shorter he will come to call
Your efforts though valiant will soon all be gone
Your dreams in the nighttime will vanish by dawn. Oh yes they will.

Time waits for no one, we cannot fail to see
Time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

Time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

And he waits for no one, no favors has he
Oh, time waits for no one and he won't wait for me
