Janis Ian
There Are Times
[Verse 1]
There are times
I wish I could be a little bit stronger
There are times
I wish the night would be a little bit longer, longer
I used to think I could carry the load
Now it seems so many years ago

[Chorus 1]
My time, your time
Time of the mind
You can have it

[Verse 2]
There are days
When I'm amazed that I'm still standing
Keeping my place
I fight through the haze, only by gambling, gambling
When I was younger I thought I was strong
Now I'm still younger but I haven't long

[Chorus 1]
My time, your time
Time of the mind
You can have it
[Verse 3]
There been times
Moments when I didn't really feel like crying
There been times
I knew that I would do better by sighing, dying
Sometimes I think it's easy to fall
And then I remember words, "Kid, you've gotta be tall"

[Chorus 2]
My time, your time
You can have it
'Cause I can't take it

[Verse 4]
There are times
I wish that I could be a little bit stronger
There are times
I wish the night could be a little bit longer, longer
Sometimes I know it's easy to fall
And then I remember I've gotta be tall

[Outro]
My time, your time
Time of the mind
You can have it
'Cause I don't want it
If you want it
You can have it
I can't take it, I'm falling, I'm calling
Please, please, please, help me
Please, help me
