My Time Ain`t Long — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

The fortune teller`s eyes,
They would not look at me,
She said these cards don`t lie
An` I said so what d` you see?
She told me what I did,
Her voice was cold an` odd,
She said go hug your kids
An` check your faith in God

Because your time ain`t long,
She said your time ain`t long,
You ain`t done no one wrong,
You`ve got a fine, safe home,
But, boy, your time ain`t long.

I walked out homeward bound
An` I drove them crosstown blocks
An` I felt the sun fade down
An` I passed a stonefaced clock


An` I thought my time ain`t long,
I thought my time ain`t long,
My drug an` booze day`s gone,
I rise an` shine at dawn,
How come my time ain`t long?

My wife just laughed at me
An` kept on ironing clothes,
What will an` will not be,
She said there`s no one knows,
But if she`s got ESP,
Well, how come she lives down there?
It just sounds like bull to me,
She ain`t no millionaire.

Who says your time ain`t long?
Who says your time ain`t long?
You keep your seatbelt on,
You feel your heart beat strong,
Who says your time ain`t long?
Who says your time ain`t long?
Who says your time ain`t long?
Your drug an` booze day`s gone,
You rise an` shine at dawn,
Who says your time ain`t long?
You ain`t done no one wrong,
You`ve got a fine, safe home,
Who says your time ain`t long?
