I like a tombstone cause it
weathers well
and if it stands or if it crumbles

only time will tell

if you carve my name in marble

you must cut it deep
there'll be no dancing on the gravestone
you must let me sleep

and time is burning burning burning
it burns away


I don't need to see the gates of
famous men
but I do try to see the kingdom

every now and then

if you ask me where it is it's on a

humble map
and I know that to enter in the doorway
show your handicap

and time is burning burning burning
it burns away
