Last Sunday mornin’ … the sunshine felt like rain Week before … they all … seemed the same With the help of God and true friends … I come to realize I still had two strong legs … and even wings to fly And oh I … ain't-a 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-uh … you lookin' like you're dyin' Just step yourself outside and look up at the stars above Go on downtown baby … find somebody to love Meanwhile I … ain't-a wastin' time no more 'Cause time goes by like … pouring rain … and much faster things You don't need no gypsy to tell you why You can't let one precious day slip by But look inside yourself … and if you don't see what you want Maybe sometimes then you don't But leave your mind alone and just get high … oh, yessuh Well 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 Well, hear us now … we ain't wastin' time no more 'Cause time goes by like … hurricanes Runnin' after subway trains Don't forget the pouring rain
