Time and Time Again

Days to weeks to months to years As time goes on it dries the tears A tissue for a heart that weeps Less sad dreams and better sleeps Though waiting for the time to pass Can take so long, a minute lasts An hour, and an hour's like Fourteen days and thirteen nights The weight comes off, no appetite The beard gets long, you're quite the sight While going down heartbroken street The key is just stay on your feet Keep on walking, don't turn 'round Time and you will cover ground And then one day the sun will shine The birds will sing, the weather's fine And when you shave off all that hair You'll realize those were always there You hadn't noticed the sublime Sit down to eat, it's breakfast time
