Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Yes, star-crossed in pleasure
The stream flows on by
Yes, as we're sated in leisure
We watch it fly, yes

[Chorus]
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

[Verse 2]
Time can tear down a building
Or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds
Don't let them waste

[Chorus]
Time waits for no one
No favors has he
Time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

[Verse 3]
Men, they build towers to their passing
Yes, to their fame everlasting
Here he comes chopping and reaping
Hear him laugh at their cheating

[Chorus]
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
Yes, time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me

[Verse 4]
Drink in your summer
Gather your corn
The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn

[Chorus]
And time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
Yes, time waits for no one
And it won't wait for me
No, no, no, not for me, no, not for me
