Time On My Hands - Janis Ian

Time on my hands

Time on my side

Got nothing but time to relieve me

Weight of your stone

Hangs on my brow

And there’s nothing but time to relieve me

Every time I hear a raindrop fall

It reminds me of you

Every time my conscience calls

It makes me feel blue

But what else can I do

When there’s nobody here to look up to

I swear it’s making me cry

It’s making me sigh

You’re driving me blind

Time on my hands

Nothing but time on my side

Got nothing but time to relieve me

Weight of your stones

Hangs on my brow

And there’s nothing but time to deceive me

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry

It reminds me of you

Every time my conscience lies

It makes me feel blue

But what else can I do?

When you leave me with nobody here to look up to

I swear you’re making me cry

You’re making me sigh

You’re driving me blind
