Time is a Thief


Yes time is a thief that will steal your tomorrows
And leave only yesterday
Yes, time is a thief that will rob you of your years
Your youth the only ransom you can pay

Time is a Thief
(M. Newbury)
Solomon Burke
1967

    "Time. Time. What is time? Swiss manufacture it. French hoard it. Italians squander it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Do you know what I say? I say time is a crook." - Peter Lorre, 'Beat The Devil'

    Great quote Shelley- Never seen Beat the devil but read some good reviews and it's Huston after all
