Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me
Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me.

Of all the people that I meet
Faces passing on the street
Returns of life so incomplete
And all the world lies at my feet.

And every day remains the same
No one there to call my name
Who's to stand behind my fame
To me your eyes will show no pain anymore.

Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me
Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me.

Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me
Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me.

I'm much too old to hesitate
Lie behind your desire to wait
Girl, you see you're mine and it's great
Sorry, girl, you're too damn late and you know

Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me
Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me
Time's so short, please woman, wear your hair down for me.
