The Keeper of Time - The Beau Brummels

By the sunlight on my window

Waking me each day

By the shadows of my dreaming

Fading far away

I can see

Yes, I can see

That the old man who’s the keeper of time

Is blinking and a-hiding

He keeps falling far behind the hour

When the mastery of tomorrow

Seems to leave no clue

When the answers are abandoned

And long overdue

Can you see?

Can you see?

That the old man who’s the keeper of time

Is blinking and a-hiding

He keeps falling far behind the hour

When the years all fall together

In a big parade

And the times of yesterday

Are lost in masquerade

Then you see

Then you see

That the old man who’s the keeper of time

Is blinking and a-hiding

He keeps falling far behind the hour

By the sunlight on my window

By the mastery of tomorrow

I can see

Yes, I can see

That the old man who’s the keeper of time

He’s blinking and a-hiding

He keeps falling far behind the hour
