My Flying Doctor Lyrics

I'm like a fading fighter, waiting for another count

The frequency of sorrow in the news

Both national and personal increases by the year

And hurts me far more often than I'd ever hoped to hear

It hits me so much harder than I'd choose

Here comes time, my flying doctor

Here comes time and time again

Never fails to ease my symptoms

Never fails to ease my pain

Those early years, the local gym, my moves were fast and smooth

And rarely did a telling blow get through

From sparring partners, sound like me, in body and in mind

An international trouble spot I probably couldn't find

And facing up to grief, I never knew

Here comes time, my flying doctor

Here comes time and time again

Never fails to ease my symptoms

Never fails to ease my pain

When young our time is fancy free

The minutes and the hours

Producing far more days of sun

Than those beset by showers

While growing up has such reward

It also has a cost

A part of which is suffering

When precious lives are lost

But as more punches find their mark, I'm wishing for the bell

My flying doctor cannot come too fast

To take away the impact, so acute and such a shock

The aching will subside along with progress of the clock

But who knows when a blow will be my last

Then no more, my flying doctor

Needs to come to me again

Someone else may have the symptoms

Someone else may have the pain

Here comes time, my flying doctor

Here comes time and time again

Never fails to ease my symptoms

Never fails to ease my pain

Never fails to ease my pain

Never fails to ease my pain

My flying doctor
