Father time lyrics Blind Melon

Father time

Have you heard about the mice
They’re makin love they’re growin up
They made it back to circle us
Have you heard about the snake
He figured that’d he’d shed his skin
Slide away again, begin

It’s easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There’s no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay

Do you think you look like hell
It’s hard to hug you from a shell
Give it up for the snail
It’s not easy for the bees
They pack a knife to the job
They try to keep from getting old

It’s easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There’s no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay

The human heart is there to crush
Father time looks over us
You’ll miss it all if you rush
Did you listen to the dust
It waits around without a sound
to gather us so listen up

It’s easy to retreat than to face yourself
And let things fall in place
There’s no words to describe the way I feel today
But I still feel okay
