time ticks away
like fire to wood
slowly, steadily
misery, disaster, fear
mustn't lay it down
hold it close
keep it near
don't let this time
pass you by
alice blue
regain your confidence
and rise to the top
time is a burden
and weighs you down
as water to sand
it takes you away
from the beauty and hope of the world
don't forget
alice blue
it's here and bold
pass by all the hurt and sorrow
hold on to what is good
hold it close
keep it near
don't let this time
pass you by
alice blue
time ticks away
like fire to wood
slowly, steadily
pass by all the hurt and sorrow
hold on to what is good
hold it close
keep it near
don't let this time
pass you by
oh yeah
alice blue
