It was a mild and lively evening at the end of May I had gone out for one quick coffee at the corner café I must have looked a little tense and overworked I guess ‘Cuz this old man leaned in and said, “My darling, what’s the stress? Come sit , come have a moment’s rest Your work is nothing worth unless your mind is calm and clear and at its best.” To everyone who’s running faster everyday, he said To everyone who’s not found peace and independence yet To everyone who thinks that life is worth a head or two Who thinks a better day awaits as soon as they get through These busiest of things to do This wall of greedy cynics who pursuade them to give up their dreams too soon Take your time It’s a quarter to forever right now Take your time It’s a quarter to forever now. To everyone who thinks that love was just a dream they had Who thinks tomorrow and the future’s nothing new to add To everyone who’s watched their hopes run out and slammed the door And everyone who still don’t know what they are looking for Found it and dropped it on the floor Whose hands and arms have gotten sore from holding on too tight to what once was Take your time It’s a quarter to forever now Take your time It’s a quarter to forever now Take your time It’s a quarter to forever right now Take your time It’s a quarter to never Take your time It’s a quarter to forever right now Take your time It’s a quarter to forever now…
