[Verse] Time, you've been a friend, a foe, Dancing on the edge of a saber's blow, Death, you're a mystery, a fear, But I'll face you both with a jazz tune clear. [Chorus] Oh Time, won't you slow down for me, We'll talk of days gone by, you'll see, Oh Death, won't you grant me a stay, As we chat to the notes of a jazz guitar play. [Verse 2] Time, you've ticked away, no pause, While life's moments fade and flowers wilt, Death, you wait in the shadows serene, Yet in jazz, we find solace, a scene. [Outro] In the end, we'll all dance to your tune, Time and Death, a duet, not so soon, For now, let's play on, let's converse, In the language of jazz, we'll transcend the herbs.
