Time Seller Lyrics - Singles - Spencer Davis Group

I know there's a man who can sell time 

I can take it away and say that it's mine 

He smiles from a distance and lives in a tree 

Holding out a welcome hand, a fist for you and me 

Money is chocolate, locked in a silver cloud 

Everybody knows but no one is around 

There's no tomorrow, only today 

When it rains, it rains lemonade 

So come with me and meet the man 

Whose job it is, is selling all this time 

Before he spreads his wings and starts to flying 'round the sky 

People are shadows, trapped in a golden well 

And only children's lives can break this spell 

We live in a land where the clouds go on trees 

Birds sound just like a clean summer breeze 

I know that this man who does sell time 

Is someone whose life lives in my mind 

It's all said to think that there is such a man 

When you're lonely you can join me in his land 

Come with me and meet the man 

Whose job it is, is selling all this time 

Before he spreads his wings and starts to flying 'round the sky
