Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Time's Caught Up On You" lyrics


One night, you'll stand again in the spotlightAnd everything will be alrightAnd you'll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
You started out in rock ‘n' rollYou had music deep in your soulNow you don't cut it like you used to doLooks like time has caught up on you.
You've given up, you've settled downNo more riding on the money-go-roundA quiet life and a room with a viewLooks like time's caught up on you.
Holes in your pockets, holes in your shoesHoles in your day dreams that never came trueSo many years but so little to showNobody told you -- you reap what you sow.
The way you talk -- makes me sadI still remember all the good times we hadRight now you're twisted and bitter and blueLooks like time's caught up on you.
How many times did I hear you sayForget tomorrow -- just live for todayYou've burned some bridges, yeah -- that much is trueLooks like time's caught up on you.
You've got some demons still driving you onThey wonder where all the good times have goneNobody calls you, now nobody daresNobody wants to ‘cos nobody cares.
Another night, another placeAnother limbo where you've fallen from graceNo, you don't cut it like you used to doLooks like time's caught up on you.
It's caught up on youIt's caught up on youIt's caught up on youIt's caught up on you
One night -- you'll stand again in the spotlightAnd everything will be all rightAnd you'll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
One night -- you'll spread your wings and you'll take flightAnd everything will be all rightAnd you'll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
One night -- you'll stand again in the spotlightAnd everything will be all rightAnd you'll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
