lyrics
Time is not a concept I'm familiar with
Time is not a concept I believe
But what a curse it is to be a poet
To see your worth
And others never know it
That's the way it's gotta be
Don't fret. Don't cry. You will see the reason why.
Oh children, never a poet be
Deceive your feelings
Unlearn and be free
Cause sorrow's never leave you
When you're sleeping
And they'll all say you're wasting
Your time dreaming
That's the way it's gotta be
Time is not a concept I believe
But what a curse it is to be a poet
To see your worth
And others never know it
That's the way it's gotta be
Don't fret. Don't cry. You will see the reason why.
Oh children, never a poet be
Deceive your feelings
Unlearn and be free
Cause sorrow's never leave you
When you're sleeping
And they'll all say you're wasting
Your time dreaming
That's the way it's gotta be
