Time Waits For No One

by Keith Richards

[Verse 1]
Yes, star crossed in pleasure the stream flows on by
Yes, as we're sated in leisure, we watch it fly, yes

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Time can tear down a building, or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste

[Chorus]
Time waits for no one, no favors has he
Time waits for no one , and it won't wait for me

[Verse 3]
Men, they build towers to their passing yes, to their fame everlasting
Here he comes chopping and reaping, hear him laugh at their cheating

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Drink in your summer, gather your corn
The dreams of the night time will vanish by dawn

[Chorus]
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, no, not for me
