Time Is Passing Us By Lyrics

	(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
	The moon is low on the southland
	The frogs are asleep on the lake
	Did you know that tears run in rivulets
	And hearts can repeatedly break?
	And this may well be the last time
	If my spirits don't pick up and fly
	For though it's sad
	It may well be true
	That our time is passing us by
	Occasionally you have called for me
	I've always tried to be there
	But it seemed whenever my train pulled in
	You never did really care
	And the only thing I could decipher
	From the corner of your roving eye
	Was that you and I
	Were the first ones to know
	That our time was passing us by
	Well, it was fun for the first few years
	playing Legend In Our Time
	And there were those who discussed the fact
	That we drifted apart in our prime
	And we haven't got too much in common
	Except that we're so much alike
	And I hate it for though
	You're a big part of me
	But our time is passing us by
	So I can sit here in my silver chair
	You can stay there on your gold
	You can say you've got commitments
	And I can say I'm growing old
	And I can get up and make comments
	On the color of the evening sky
	But our ships have come home
	And the night's rolling in
	And our time is passing us by
	But cast us adrift
	And cross a few stars
	And I'm good for one more try
