1. Old Man Time Old Man Time walks along the road and the road goes ever on. Though we know that his steps are slow, when we look for him he’s gone and he will not stay, he will not delay as his weary way he wends. Old Man time walks along the road and his journey never ends. Old Man Time walks along the road on his long and weary way. Though we try, as he passes by, we can never make him stay. No he will not stay, he will not delay as his weary way he wends. Old Man Time walks along the road and his journey never ends.
