Time Seller

I know there's a man who can sell time

I can take it away and say that it's mine

He smiles from a distance and lives in a tree

Holding out a welcome hand, a fist for you and me

Money is chocolate, locked in a silver cloud

Everybody knows but no one is around

There's no tomorrow, only today

When it rains, it rains lemonade

So come with me and meet the man

Whose job it is, is selling all this time

Before he spreads his wings and starts to flying 'round the sky

People are shadows, trapped in a golden well

And only children's lives can break this spell

We live in a land where the clouds go on trees

Birds sound just like a clean summer breeze

I know that this man who does sell time

Is someone whose life lives in my mind

It's all said to think that there is such a man

When you're lonely you can join me in his land

Come with me and meet the man

Whose job it is, is selling all this time

Before he spreads his wings and starts to flying 'round the sky
