Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
The week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I’ve come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly
So I ain’t wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things
Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days, lookin' like you’re dyin'
Go step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown, baby, find you somebody to love
Meanwhile I ain’t wastin' time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and much faster things
You don’t need no gypsy to tell you why
You can’t let one precious day slip by Look inside yourself, and if you don’t see what you want
Maybe sometimes then you don’t
Leave your mind alone and just get high
By and by, way after many years have gone
And all the war freaks die off, leavin' us alone
We’ll raise our children in the peaceful way we can
It’s up to you and me brother
To try and try again
So, hear us now, we ain’t wastin' time no more
Time rolls by like hurricanes
Runnin' after the subway train
Don’t forget the pourin' rain
