Taking the Time - Procol Harum

I was standing on the mountain top staring at the sun

I was trying to act the hero’s part not fooling anyone

I was living for the moment but the moment never came

Taking notes and stealing quotes, trying to make a name

My time’s been taken with taking my time

By making my mind up, yes to make up my mind

I was living in the country: I was trying not to freeze

I was working on the cabbage plants, chopping down the trees

I was learning how to cook the goose and how to milk the cow

Taking out the dog for walks, teaching him how to bow

My time’s been taken, yes, with taking my time

Oh, I’m making my mind up to make up my mind, yes

Yes, my time’s been taken, oh, with taking my time, yeah

I’m making my mind up, yeah to make up my mind oh…
