Spend My Time Lyrics

How can we know how far,

The long way can be?

Looking from where we are,

It never seemed that long to me.

I've many miles behind me,

Maybe not so much ahead.

It seems I made good time,

With the directions I misread.

So I'm gonna spend my time,

Like it's going out of style.

I'm moving the bottom line,

Farther than a country mile.

I still have hills to climb,

Before I hit that wall.

No matter how much time I buy,

I can never spend it all.

Funny thing, that time:

We're always running out.

I'm always losing mine,

There's not enough of it about.

An' though it's always here,

It'll always come and go.

The days become the years,

That'll be gone before you know.

Better than a country mile.

I won't go quietly into that dark night.

There'll be no more burnin' daylight.

I'll be living in,

Every moment that I'm in.

Oh, I'm gonna spend my time,

I'll only use what's mine,

I've been savin' for a while.

No matter how much time we buy,

We can never spend it all.

I'm gonna spend my time.
