Time, like an arrow  Floats in our minds  Down, the falling sparrow  Do you see how he flies?  So do I    Time, like a river  Flows from your veins  And life, like an iceberg  Still remains the same    There was a time when life was young  Since then we've fought a thousand wars  The happy daggers sing their song  And they complain that life is short    Gone, like the marrow  That seeps from your bones  Down, the falling sparrow  Weeps and he groans    There was a time when life was young  Since then we've fought a thousand wars  The fallen martyrs sing their song  They cry in vain that life is short    Time, like an arrow  Floats in our minds  Down, the falling sparrow  Do you see how he flies?  So do I    these lyrics are submitted by merry ellen kirk
