lyrics

I thought that I had forever and a day
But how wrong I turned out to be
Time it went by, my oh my
And it happens nothing lasts for eternity
Don't got another minute, too late to begin it

Come on, come on, won't you run to me
Oh I'll be gone before the clock will chime
Come on, come on, won't you run to me
Can't you see I'm a man out of time

We all have our own special dreams
Along with the hope that one day they will come true
But as we move through life things don't go as planned
And then what do you do

I thought that I might make it big some day
But that's not the way that it went
I made it small, almost not at all
Not long enough to ferment
The clock may stop ticking but I am still kicking

Well I'm a man out of time
Tick-tock, tick-tock and your life ain't worth a dime
Not a dime for a man out of time
We all have our own special dreams
With the hope that one day they will come true
