Time Is On My Side, The Rolling Stones, no filme "Fallen"

Desde que revi Fallen, um poderoso e algo esquecido filme dirigido em 1998 por Gregory Hoblit, que não me sai da cabeça este tema dos The Rolling Stones. Curioso é que poucos dias depois de o ver, decidi ler (coincidência?) o livro de Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending (O Sentido do Fim, vencedor do prémio Man Booker Prize em 2011, obra não menos poderosa que o filme, cuja leitura recomendo ASAP), onde o refrão é referido umas 3 vezes ao longo da narrativa. Aqui ficam os primeiros instantes do Fallen em que a canção surge e, a seguir, o tema interpretado em 1964 pelos 4 old-timers do Rock, e uma reprodução da respectiva letra.

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you'll come running back (said you would baby)
You'll come running back (I said so many times before)
You'll come running back to me

Oh, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

You're searching for good times
But just wait and see
You'll come running back (I wont have to worry no more)
You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come running back to me

Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town
And baby, do everything your heart desires
Remember, I'll always be around
And I know, I know
Like I told you so many times before
You're gonna come back, baby
'Cause I know
You're gonna come back knocking
Yeah, knocking right on my door
Yes, yes!

Well, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

'Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
You'll come running back (said you would, baby)
You'll come running back (I always said you would)
You'll come running back, to me
Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
I said, time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
Oh, time, time, time is on my side
Yeah, time, time, time is on my side
