Songs About Time

I don't think anything could outdo "Slip Slidin' Away" by Paul Simon. This is just the ultimate classic to me. If anyone can come up with anything better than this, I want to hear it.

You may prefer the original version of "Hazy Shade of Winter", but the music video to this version puts it over the top for me.

I would imagine 99% of this forum has never heard "Time" by Ozzy Osbourne, and that's a real shame.

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cuz I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now

I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

[Ends in harmonic whistling]

I don't know how to embed, but here is a favorite of mine:
Col. Bruce Hampton "Time Is Free" here w/ Eric McFadden Trio)

youtu.be...

Lyrics:

You recall the day when everybody stopped to see
The blazing sun
Did you really see the way they all looked up and asked that question
"Why?"

Boom boom, bang bang look out here it comes again
Can't stop the way it flows
It never knows
Why it goes:
Time is free
Time is free

You been known to take the time to look and want
You been known to take the time to stop the want
That's the place where we all go
I don't know why we do it
Never any reason to be not free
Play a little music

You recall the day when everybody stoped to see
The blazing sun
Did you really see the way they all looked up and asked that question
"Why?"
