Ol’ Father Time

Here’s a song inside a memory
Of some of the earliest teachings of Ol’ Father
Time He is seen parading around every
Saturday
On a see-saw with a raven’s wings on a Sunday
Drive Every fall he makes the leaves come off the
Trees
As if to say “fuck you all”

So tonight…
Father Time if you can hear me
Father Time if you can hear
Me
Ol’ Father Time if you can hear me
Well could you make it better than it was before?
Could you make it better than it ever was
Before?

There’s a funk in the river
It’s carried people, food, culture, throughout all
Time It has to do with water
And how it’s the third most abundant molecule in the
Universe Behind molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide

Father Time if you can hear me
Father Time if you can hear
Me
Ol’ Father Time if you can hear me
Well could you make it better than it was before
Could you make it better than it ever was
Before
