The lights are going down
Your part is nearly at an end
You must lay down your crown
Time and tide they wait for no one
Least of all they wait for you
Now you must watch from the wings
The rest is not for you to do
You said the times they are a-changin'
They always were, they always will
But now it seems we're only tryin'
To make the time stand still
Take another bow my friend
But this must be your last
The curtain falling at your feet
Must be a veil across your past
Your one-night stand is nearly over
Tomorrow will bring a different show
Your audience is swiftly leaving
They've got a long way to go
You said the times they are a-changin'
They always were, they always will
But now it seems we're only tryin'
To make the time stand still.
