Lyrics:

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by

Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly



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



Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face

Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste



Time waits for no one, no favours has he

Time waits for no one, and he won't wait for me



Men, they build towers to their passing yes, to their fame everlasting

Here he comes chopping and reaping, hear him laugh at their cheating



And time waits for no man, and it won't wait for me

Yes, time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me



Drink in your summer, gather your corn

The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn



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



No no no, not for me....
