Taking the Time Songtext

von Procol Harum

I was standing on the mountain top
And staring at the sun
I was trying to act the heroes part
Not fooling anyone
I was living for the moment
But the moment never came
Taking notes and stealing quotes
And trying to make a name
My time has been taken
With taking my time
I'm making my mind up
To make up my mind

I was living in the country
I was trying not to freeze
I was working on the cabbage plants
And chopping down the trees
I was learning how to cook the goose
And how to milk the cow
I was taking out the dog for walks
And teaching him how to bow
My time has been taken
With taking my time
I'm making my mind up
To make up my mind
