🎶 Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The clock ticks softly in the room where I'm alone
Pictures on the mantle of days that have flown
Once there were mornings, filled with golden light
Now there's just twilight merging into night

[Pre-Chorus]
Every second slips like sand through my hands
Dreams like leaves, scattered over lands

[Chorus]
Time, you're a thief, dressed in fleeting guise
Stealing my moments under sullen skies
I've been watching seasons turning, trying to understand
Why the years rush like water slipping through my hands

[Verse 2]
Mirror reflects a stranger's eyes, so worn and wise
Traces of laughter, shadowed by sighs
The girl I knew, lost in yesterday
Faded like whispers that drift away

[Pre-Chorus]
What I'd give to pause, to catch my breath
To hold the sun, delay the sunset's death

[Chorus]
Time, you're a thief, dressed in fleeting guise
Stealing my moments under sullen skies
I've been watching seasons turning, trying to understand
Why the years rush like water slipping through my hands

[Bridge]
Rooms filled with echoes of children’s laughter
Now silence hangs in the rafters
I reach out, but it's all a blur
Ghosts of the 'could-have-been', we were

[Chorus]
Time, you're a thief, dressed in fleeting guise
Stealing my moments under sullen skies
I've been watching seasons turning, trying to understand
Why the years rush like water slipping through my hands

[Outro]
So I sing to the stars, to the endless blue
Time, take me gently, I'll walk through
Leaving behind what I can't rewind
In the shadows of time, what's lost, I'll find
