Shona Laing - 1905

[natecull]

Written about Henry Fonda, but they were born in the same year.
A similar kind of obsession, and carrying on the 'time' theme...

I can't find an online version of the full song. This one is only part of it:

I could light a cigarette and take the time
To find the words to write
But time takes time and I haven't really got the time to spend today
So I'll gaze at that blue envelope
Wondering if I should send it away
But I haven't really got the time to spend today

1905 you won your battle with life
The turn was mine
50 years later
So it's no use crying
Time obviously didn't even want me
To start trying

I should take the time to start
To stop myself from using it the way I do
But in this day and age
Reality can be a dream too
So I spend my spare time and my taken time
Working out the truth
Yeah I suppose I've got the time for you

1905 you won your battle with life
The turn was mine
50 years later
So it's no use crying
Time obviously didn't even want me
To start trying

I've invented a game that I can't win
Oh why did I ever begin
I'm not a sore loser
But when I think of why I'm losing I cry
Oh time, time, time

1905 you won your battle with life
The turn was mine
50 years later
So it's no use crying
Time obviously didn't even want me
To start trying

Time, time, time
