How Much Time

Music and Lyric by David W. Jacobsen

Sometimes it seems like I'm the only one
Who feels this way
As the years go passed

Others they just seem to
Move astray from the role they played
Till they are recast

And I don't want the burden
Time soon gives to me
I suppose that's how life goes
You bow to its decree

How much time do I have
Till you're gone?
How much time do I have
Till you've moved on?

I suppose I've learned to compromise
Some things have to change
As the years progress

Still I thought that I was in the disguise
And that one day
My dreams would redress

I'll throw gasoline on the fire
And watch the flames grow
You ask me what I want from life
I still don't know

How much time do I have
Till you're gone?
How much time do I have
Till you've moved on?

And so you're waiting there to take my hand
As all others have
As the years go by

I know what the world expects of me
Am I just prepared now to defy

I still don't know

How much time do I have
Till you're gone?
How much time do I have
Till you've moved on?
You will move on ...
You're moving on ...
