|
The old man said to me
|
Said don't always take life so seriously
|
Play the flute
|
And dance and sing your song
|
|
Try and enjoy the here and now
|
The future will take care of itself somehow
|
The grass is never greener over there
|
Time will wear away the stone
|
Gets the hereditary bone
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Don't try to live your life in one day
|
Don't go speed your time away
|
Don't try to live your life in one day
|
Don't go speed your time away
|
|
The old man said to me
|
Said you can't change the world single handedly
|
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery
|
Pretend the water is champagne
|
And fill my glass again and again
|
While the wolves are gathering round your door
|
Time will wear away the stone
|
Gets the hereditary bone
|
|
CHORUS

The future will take care of itself somehow
|
The grass is never greener over there
|
Time will wear away the stone

Gets the hereditary bone
|
|
I tried to live my life in one day
|
Don't go speed your time away
|
|
I bit off more than I can chew
|
Only so much you can do
|
|
Wolves are gathering round my door
|
Ask them in and invite some more
|
|
I tried to live my life in one day
|
Don't go speed your time away
|
|
Don't try to live your life in one day
