Every day a grain of sand
Slipping through the hour glass
Going down the lonely road
No one knows just where it goes

Every face in every place
Turning to the wheels of fate
Live and die another die
‘Till we find a better way

Time will take away
Your broken heart my baby
Cradle to the grave
Time will take away

Every leaf and every seed
Falling from the living tree
On the wind they are a’ flowing
In the ground they are a’ growing

One to die, one to live
One to take and one to give
One to lie beneath the stone
One to life from love will grow

Time will take away
Your broken heart my baby
Cradle to the grave
Time will take away

No matter what you save
Time will take away
No matter what you gave
He’ll take it all away
From the cradle to the grave
Time will take away
Every single day
Time will take away
