Well it took a long time but you've finally worn out your smile

That's when I knew it

I've runned out of borrowed time

You always used to say that you could learn a lot through wasting time

And that if you look hard

You'll see yourself in your lovers eyes



Your time is near it won't be long

You've got to go when you're called upon

No light of day no sight of dawn

Don't turn around just walk right on



You came riding into town with a black and white five and ten

Said I'll be your captain

And take you back home again

It's your third time around but you know I'll get a second wind

But if we ever get there they'll be no one there to let us in



Your time is near it won't be long

You've got to go when you're called upon

You caught me dancing in the street last night

You walked right past me into the light



Packed up my souvenirs, tied my shoes, and sold my car

Yes I should have known it

I'd never get very far

Ever since we've met you've been a hungry and a restless child

You're just like your father

You know he's got a poison mind



Your time is near it won't be long

You've got to go when you're called upon

You said you and me we'd never will pretend

But my broken soul is never gonna mend
