Subject: Time Just Slips Away
I'm curious about a song I heard some years ago. It had an "old time" feel to it, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was a contemporary composition rather than trad. The chorus starts off something like:
Time just slips away. It seems I left here yesterday, this world is round we all go home in time ...
and then there are some words that I don't remember, and then the chorus ends with:
We're all just putty in the hands of Old Father Time.
I would have thought that this song was well known, but when I looked for it in the Mudcat search I came up empty.
