Andy Griggs - Time Is A Gypsy Lyrics

Time is a gypsy, never slows down
Just keeps moving covering ground
Tell 'em the future deal 'em the cards
Slippin' away just like smoke in the dark
You can't hold it it's always rolling
Time is a gypsy

Time is a bandit, the cleverest kind
When you're not looking it's gonna steal you blind
Hides in the shadows takes what it wants
Like a desperado that can't be caught
You can't stop it you can't lock it
Time is a bandit

Now, I've come to see how time took its toll
How we wasted it and let love grow cold
When I finally saw how far you were gone
I tried to reach you but I couldn't hold on

When I finally saw how far you were gone
I tried to reach you but I couldn't hold on

Time is a healer that's what they say
Well, I'm still praying, I'll get there someday
With the light of tomorrow I can't seem to find
I'm stuck in the world that's left me behind
But it's turning and God knows I'm learning
Time is a gypsy
