Time Waits For No One Lyrics

Cover art for Time Waits For No One lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

Coming out of "Rocky Mountain High," I see that the first sentence here is a shooting star. Sated in leisure, we wast time, when hours are like diamonds. Cat Stevens: "Lets all start livin' for the one that's going to last." "All you money won'[t another minute buy," (Kansas). Incidentally, what a joke to think ill of Jaggar /Richards: look what fun he makes even of cheating, the injustices humans do upon the argument that one must. Drink in your summer, gather your corn, the dreams of the night will vanish by dawn, "indeed we are such stuff as dreams are made on." And fame? The very ground of fame in our generations we seek to benefit and save by our legacy, even as the Stones do for us here, will be rolled up like a scroll! Indeed, and "Leave not a rack behind." But "hours are like diamonds." We cannot but underestimate the value of the gift of the fact that we are here at all to begin. Hence, loss for which some are angry at God, is just less of the gift we never appreciated, as when our love was there.
