Time Waits for No One

About Time Waits for No One

"Time Waits for No One" is a song by English rock band the Rolling Stones from the 1974 album It's Only Rock 'n Roll. It was the first song recorded for the album. Credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Time Waits for No One" is a slower, smoother song than the ones for which the Stones are best known. The track features a distinctive groove that has been compared to the later song "Waiting on a Friend" (recording of which in fact started in late 1972). It is also noted for its distinct Latin influences. The song opens with a riff by Richards which echoes throughout the rest of the song. Drummer Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman keep affected jazz beats. Song contributor Ray Cooper provides the song's distinctive driving percussions, including tambourine, maracas and a knocking beat that carries through the entire song like the sound of a ticking clock. Wyman also contributes an early use of synthesizer on a Stones track. Stones recording veteran Nicky Hopkins provides the song's swirling piano runs. more »

Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by 
Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly 
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 
Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face 
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste 
Time waits for no one, no favours has he 
Time waits for no one, and he won't wait for me 
Men, they build towers to their passing yes, to their fame everlasting 
Here he comes chopping and reaping, hear him laugh at their cheating 
And time waits for no man, and it won't wait for me 
Yes, time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 
Drink in your summer, gather your corn 
The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn 
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 
And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me 
No no no, not for me....
