🎶 Lyrics to "More Days Than Wishes" 🎶

Oh, Time, you roll so slow and cruel,
Carry me gently like a worn-out mule,
I laid my dreams by the river stone,
Watched 'em drift off, but I ain't alone.

Time, you thief, you kindly friend,
Take what you must, I'll still pretend,
Wish I had more, but I'm glad for the day,
Lay me down easy when I fade away.

My hair turned silver, my hands turned thin,
Still I smile at the shape I'm in,
A thousand wishes couldn't buy one year,
But a soft little song can keep 'em near.

Time, you thief, you kindly friend,
Take what you must, I'll still pretend,
Wish I had more, but I'm glad for the day,
Lay me down easy when I fade away.

Footprints vanish where the river bends,
Old love letters never send,
But the sun still rises just the same,
Calling out my broken name.

Time, you thief, you kindly friend,
Take what you must, I'll still pretend,
Wish I had more, but I'm glad for the day,
Lay me down easy when I fade away.

Lay me down easy... when I fade away...
