Steve Earle — Time is Never On Our Side

[Verse 1] The morning that the world began God reached out and closed his hand And when it opened up again A moment vanished in the wind Since that day it's never stopped No matter how you wind the clock And untold billions lived and died Time was never on their side [Verse 2] Seasons come, seasons go Sunrise, sunset, rain and snow Every time the world turns 'round A brand new shiny day is found We pray to whom we fear the most The Father, Son, the Holy Ghost Take whatever fate provides And time is never on our side [Instrumental Verse] [Verse 3] Sometimes an hour hurdles by Sometimes an instant never dies Some days crawl and others fly Hey, and ours is not to reason why And woe to them that hesitate I hear good things come to those that wait Who ever told you that one lied And time is never on our side [Outro] Time is never on our side
