If I Had Time
If I had time, I would have spoken
Just a few words I never did
And I meant to
If only I had had time
In a sad rhyme, you told a story
How we had time – time and the world
But then yours came
And I'm left with just those words
Sand trickles down
Bottle turned upside down
Measures a meaningless piece of the ground
All the years go by, dropping like ballast
While your dreams fly into the air
And you look down
To see two feet standing there
If I had time, I'd keep it bottled
Like a fine wine, to drink from at will
And toast to the best of times
Those I could make stand still
Footprints in sand
Last until fate's fickle hand
Washes all traces of life from the land
If I had time
If only I could have time
Just a few words I never did
And I meant to
If only I had had time
In a sad rhyme, you told a story
How we had time – time and the world
But then yours came
And I'm left with just those words
Sand trickles down
Bottle turned upside down
Measures a meaningless piece of the ground
All the years go by, dropping like ballast
While your dreams fly into the air
And you look down
To see two feet standing there
If I had time, I'd keep it bottled
Like a fine wine, to drink from at will
And toast to the best of times
Those I could make stand still
Footprints in sand
Last until fate's fickle hand
Washes all traces of life from the land
If I had time
If only I could have time
