Lyrics to A Life
A Life Video:
"A Life"By Tom RappThe clock has metal handsIt throws the hours downOn the ground with a thudThe sound of bloodAnd if you do not forgive meI do not knowWhat I will doAs the time goes byAs the time goes byIn the Spring when he was bornThe soil was soft and good and warmHis father was a farmerThe son of the sunSaid: the Earth don't wait for a man but onceAnd if you do not believe meI do not knowWhat I will doAnd the time goes byAnd the time goes byWhen he was a boy the fields were fullThe girls were soft and good and warmThe morning sun was shiningLike a promise in his eyesAnd if you do not deceive meI do not knowWhat I will doAnd the time goes byAnd the time goes byWhen he was a man he worked with his handsThe ground was hard, but a place to standBut when the Autumn came aroundThe oxen plowed the land to ridges in the groundAnd the wrinkles in his faceLike the beaten road showedIn a man's bodyIs where the time goesAnd if you do not defeat meI do not knowWhat I will doAnd the time goes byAnd the time goes byHe gave to the earth and it gave back'Till he had nothing to give at lastThe trembling of his marbled handsShowed he knewWhat the Earth demandedAs it waited for himAnd the time goes byAnd the time goes byThe clock has metal handsIt throws the hours downOn the ground with a thudThe sound of bloodAnd if you do not forgive meI do not knowWhat I will doAs the time goes byAs the time goes by
