lyrics

BLOCKS OF TIME

Brooklyn in summertime
Like a free for all
The girls in paper fads
They crowd the hall

Hiding behind, photo faces
Living life through a filtered lens
I don’t want my life to
Be no means and just an end

I know that’s why you
Saw my face in the crowd
The music in my head
Blaring out so loud

Now there’s a refuge
From the city lights
A peace that calms
Even the darkest nights
But it’s no use if we
Just can’t stop time

To make it count
To seize the now
Don’t let the sails
Of ships pass by

Cause I’m worth
More than blocks
Of time
My dear

Clever plans
And witty thoughts go far
But what’s a life without
Some banjos and guitars

Like yellow cabs
Over the Brooklyn Bridge
We’re just speeding through
Our pride’s prize fears

But no trips to falling
Away for this time

To make it count
To seize the now
Don’t let the sails
Of ships pass by

Cause I’m worth
More than blocks
Of time
My dear


There is more to
Life than this
Don’t sow your todays
For tomorrow’s bliss
