[C]
Old man time is a rare old man
For a young man he'll ever remain
With his long grey beard and his clothes all plain
Oh, old man time is his name
[F] As one [C] flower dies, the old man he cries
[G] The young man he [C] plants the seeds again
With a careful [F] [C] hand he tends the sand
[F] Oh, [C] old man time is his name
This old man has an hourglass
For every soul on the land
Old man time, I have seen mine
It's the one with the fastest sand
[F] No sooner [C] is it turned, back through the [Am] glass it's [F] churned
I'm wishing I could have [Am] each [G] hour again
[C] With a careful [Dm]
[C] hand he tends the sand
[F] Oh, old man [C]
time is his name

me, old man, your time is rare
Did God not give you all my sand?
Or maybe [F] [C] mine, a heart to share
Or [F] is the [C] soul left in your hand?
[F] They tell [C] me time is gold, or maybe it's been sold
[Fm] Or was it simply [C] washed away in rain?
With a careful [Fm] [C] hand he tends the sand
[F] Oh, old [C] man time is his name
If [F] I brought [C] him [G] a sack, [C] do you think he'd put [Am] some back?
[F] I know one day across my [C] path he'll come
But as for [F] now, [C] I can't say how
I know [F] the old man's [G] work [Am] is far from done
[F] For old [C] man [G] [C] time has just begun
