Time time time is a riddle
My oh my I can figure it out
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
In a thornless cathederal
Is barely moving a needle at all
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Who to no one man
Shows partiality,
Brings round to all men
Some undimm'd hours.

With waiting for a better day;
See how idiot-like he stands,
Fumbling with his palsied hands!

Treat them like a parting friend:

Which in youth sincere they send:
For each year their price is more,
And they less simple than before.
