Time Is Running Wild Lyrics - Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes

Time Is Running Wild 

(J. Lyon/Nicholson/G. Tallent) 

I found my mother leafing through 

A book of photographs 

And with the rustle of each page 

She heard a young boy's laugh 

Then she turned and looked at me 

Said, "Son, I feel so old" 

And in that moment I could see 

All the years take hold 

Time is running wild again 

Stirring up the past 

Days I thought would never end 

Have flown away so fast 

The old man in the mirror 

Well, he only sees a child 

Time is running wild

They buried my father in a blue serge suit 

That I'd never seen him wear 

I still see him in his fishing clothes 

With the sea wind in his hair 

They carved his name on a small brass plaque 

On a pier out in the bay 

A storm came by in early spring 

And blew it all away 

Time is running wild again 

Stirring up the past 

Days I thought would never end 

Have flown away so fast 

The old man in the mirror 

Well, he only sees a child 

Time is running wild 

Photos 

We're all born to innocence 

Free to run and play 

We never see the road behind us 

Crumbling away 

Time is running wild again 

Stirring up the past 

All those days I thought would never, never end 

They've flown away so fast 

Now when I look in the mirror 

Still I only see a child 

Time is running wild 

Time is running wild 

Time is running wild
