i've been waiting for your letter, the one you said you sent last week
too many mistakes in the address, life is bittersweet
i'm standing at the station, train coming soon i'm told
things get better down the line, it's been a long hard road
time keeps slipping away, i lost another hour today
i was waiting on you, what do i do while my time keeps slipping away?
i'm a man of the world, waiting for the night to all
'cause the night life is the life i live, when time means nothing at all
so i'm standing on the platform, and the train came rolling by
it's six o'clock in the morning, and the sun's already hanging high
it shines on my and says, hey, there, what you going to do today?
well, i'm sure not hanging around this place, my time keeps slipping away
time keeps slipping away, i lost another hour today
i was waiting on you, what do i do while my time keeps slipping away?
