Comes a time when you're driftin' Comes a time when you settle down Comes a light, feelin's liftin' Lift that baby right up off the ground Whoa, this old world keeps spinnin' round It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down There comes a time You and I, we were captured We took our souls and we flew away We were right, we were giving That's how we kept what we gave away
