The March of Time

Skirmish: Time Marches On (@troubadette)Liner Notes
I had an idea for another verse dealing with how some of us appear to age faster than others and some people are old when they are young and vice versa, but I didn't have time π
Perhaps the song says enough in its less than two minutes, anyway, eh?
INSTRUMENT: Godin Grand Concert (Nylon strings)
Lyrics
(Em) Time marches (D) on and there's
(C) nothing we can do to (Em) stop it
We can't make it change its (D) course
The (C) past we can't un(Em)lock it
The (G) present is all we've (D) got
What's (C) done cannot be (Em) undone
The future is un(D)known
if there is (C) even going to (Em) be one
(Em) Time flies when you're having (D) fun
And (C) crawls without in(Em)centive
Our brains are tuned to (D) find
Things (C) new and in(Em)ventive
(G) Hours drag into (D) days
Measured in (C) tea spoons and apple (Em) pie
Boredom's an e(D)ternity
If we (C) get no stimul(Em)i
(Em) As children days are (D) long
And (C) months are even (Em) longer
But as we're getting (D) old
Time be(C)comes a scare(Em)monger
(G) Weeks shoot by like (D) days did
(C) Days become a (Em) blur
Drawing us ever (D) closer
To the (C) day we won't be (Em) there
And sounds like your lost Verse idea could be a good idea for another song?
