Crooked Piece Of Time

Things got rough, things got tough

Things got harder than hard

We were just trying to make a livin'

In our back yard

We were born too late, died to soon

Anxiety's a terrible crime

If you can't come now, don't come at all

'Cause it's a crooked piece of time

It's a crooked piece of time that we live in

All in all, and all in all

It was a crooked piece of time

Yesterday morning, an ill wind came

Blew your picture right out of the picture frame

Even blew the candle out from underneath the flame

Yesterday morning, an ill wind came

It's a crooked piece of time that we live in

All in all, and all in all

It was a crooked piece of time

Things got rough, things got tough

Things got harder than hard

We were just trying to make a livin'

In our back yard

We were born too late, died to soon

Anxiety's a terrible crime

If you can't come now, don't come at all

'Cause it's a crooked piece of time

It's a crooked piece of time that we live in

All in all, and all in all

It's a crooked piece of time

It's a crooked piece of time that we live in

All in all, and all in all

It's a crooked piece of time, it's a crooked piece of time

It's a crooked piece of time
