Andy Griggs - Time Is a Gypsy lyrics

Time is a Gypsy, never slows down Just keeps moving covering ground Tell 'em the future deal 'em the cards Slippin' away just like smoke in the dark You can't hold it it's always rolling Time is a Gypsy Time is a bandit, the cleverest kind When you're not looking it's gonna steal you blind Hides in the shadows takes what it wants Like a desperado that can't be caught You can't stop it you can't lock it Time is a bandit Now, I've come to see how time took its toll How we wasted it and let love grow cold When I finally saw how far you were gone I tried to reach you but I couldn't hold on When I finally saw how far you were gone I tried to reach you but I couldn't hold on Time is a healer that's what they say Well, I'm still praying I'll get there someday With the light of tomorrow I can't seem to find I'm stuck in the world that's left me behind But it's turning and God knows I'm learning Time is a Gypsy
