You were surprised when the last of the summer cracked through the gap in the curtain
The light on your face entered your dreams and took away all that was certain
You woke up and walked round town the day that time slowed down
With the rain in your face you walked arm in arm saying nothing you'll ever remember
The clouds were your constant companions from January through to December
You were the queen who lost her crown the year that time slowed down
When, when all is said and done and you're just words upon a page
Inside a book that never opens, how will you be found
You, well you should have learned to dance, you could have sailed the seven seas
But you were always standing waiting for the day that time slowed down
In the dark of the cabin the clock on the wall ticked so loud that it stopped us from Sleeping
Through the deep summer nights and the gentlest of days our love held us there for the Keeping
We lucked out the year we found the days when time slowed down
We lucked out the year we found the days when time slowed down
The days when time slowed down
The days when time slowed down
