I've Got No Time For You

I got no time for you

When you were seventeen, I was nothing but a thought
Because you were then in ‘53, there’s nothing yet of me
When you were taking your first steps
My grandfather took his test to get into the second grade
A million miles away

So I got no time for you

I saw the pictures of the day when you grew up and moved away
Your mother, she looked proud of you
It’s all that she could do
I saw the photos when you cried, I saw the photos
When you died
I saw the start, I saw it all
I know you better than yourself

But if I was alive when you were alive
Things would be better

So I got not time for you
