Time Is Never On Our Side - Steve Earle Lyrics

Time Is Never On Our Side

The mornin' that the world began
God reached out and closed His hand
And when it opened up again
A moment vanished in the wind
Since that day, it's never stopped
No matter how you wind the clock
And untold billions lived and died
And time was never on their side

Seasons come and seasons go Sunrise, sunset, rain, and snow
And every time the world turns round
A brand new shiny day is found
We pray to whom we fear the most
The Father, Son, the Holy Ghost
So take whatever fate provides
And time is never on our side

Sometimes an hour hurtles by
Sometimes an instant never dies
Some days crawl and others fly
And ours is not to reason why
And woe to them that hesitate
"And good things come to those that wait"
Whoever told you that one lied
And time is never on our side
Time is never on our side
