Timekeeper

I find this song fitting as we approach the end of another year.

The coming year is a complete unknown. I don't know where I'll be living or working just a couple of months from now.
I don't know what's going to happen politically to my country. I don't know what's going to happen financially.

I don't know what life I'll be living, but it won't be this one.
Which might not be such a bad thing...

Guess I'll have to ask the timekeeper.

Lyrics: ▶︎

Time Keeper, I can't believe how long it's been
Time Keeper, I wish I could start over again
I'm too young to be feeling this way
Yeah, I'm wasted as I lie awake
(There goes another day)

Time Keeper
Please won't you slow it down tonight?
Time Keeper, the days are rolling by
Time Keeper, tell me I'm gonna be alright

Time Keeper, I thought I'd have it right by now
But Time Keeper, everything's still spinning out
I'm undone, breaking out of the cage
But before the beast can get away
(There goes another day)

Time Keeper
Please won't you slow it down tonight?
Time Keeper, the days are rolling by
Time Keeper, tell me I'm gonna be alright

So choke the dawn and damn the daylight
Time is just an invisible line
Time Keeper, I'm hoping you hear me tonight

Time Keeper
Please won't you slow it down tonight?
Time Keeper, the days are rolling by
Time Keeper, tell me I'm gonna be alright
