He’s come to take his chil-dren home 
  
It's the only one he knows. 
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go. 
Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait, 
Woh - oh, what I want to know, where does the time go? 

I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar's Tomb; 
I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune 
Anybody's choice, I can hear your voice. 
Woh - oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?
