Wasting Time

The Clarks

At the end of motion

Commit me to the ocean

At the end of thinking

All I want is sinking

The worldly pain of life I leave behind

The give and take of love is not a crime

Like wasting time



It's kinda like a fever

My sleep is getting deeper

It's kinda like a sunset

Fade to black, but not yet

The earthly joy of sex and weed and wine

The high and low of life is not a crime

Like wasting time



It's time I started a fire

Not just a funeral pyre

It's time I get busy living

Not just taking but giving

And leave the pain and hurt and fear behind

And throw away the chains and free my mind

And open up my heart and let love shine

Wasting time



Say goodbye to lonely, Say goodbye to worry

Say goodbye to money, Say goodbye to hurry

Say goodbye
