lyrics

I look at the arms of a pocket watch
My grandfather gave me
He told me son, you better hold it tight
Or time will slip on by you.

Can’t help but think we’re living on
Borrowed time but I don't know where from
We wander along the open road
Led by light and some by love

I look at this world through borrowed eyes
But I don’t know where to go

So hold my tremblin hand
And look past the scars if you can
Time will come and it will pass
It’s borrowed now so hold me fast
This section walks up some weird chords, bass notes listed:

Borrowed world and borrowed time sorrow found within our eyes
All that’s left is borrowed hands of you and I

My grandfather used to take long walks
On flat Mississippi soil
Leaving late night or early morn
He met night’s black with the day’s blue

He let his sorrows drift in the breeze
As he walked in step with God
Making up time he left behind
But dropping it on his way to the grave
