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.

Oh, this old world
    keeps spinning 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.

Oh, this old world
    keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees
    ain't layin' down
There comes a time.
