Take your time
Run your mind over the wreckage we leave
Shoot a glance
In the room
Like some lonesome melody
And the years go crashing by
Without a whisper or a sigh
Then you walk right out the door
And you hold your head up high
And there's nothing to be done
It's just a gesture for the ones you left behind
(You left behind)
Like stranger at your door
Some things we've said before
And the hook that's on your mind
Only chews me up inside
And I don't think I can meet you
I don't think I can talk it through again
Not now
The view just keeps on changing
And there's nothing
Left of me these days
Of the man that I was yesterday
When you held me in your arms
But time oh time
Is slipping fast
Time oh the time
Time is slipping fast
And my eyes are closed and my mouth is dry
And my ears are rattling through the night
If I don't find a way out of here
The days keep stretching on
Like the embers of the song
You were singing when I found you sitting on your own
There's that smile again and it lights the sky
With its glow
It gets me every time
And you brush your hand through my hair and you smile
And there's not a single thing in the world right now
Keep me from your side
But time oh time
Is slipping fast
Time oh the time
Time is slipping fast
Instrumental
And we were lost out in the hallway
And the snow was crashing down
And I was hiding out from everyone
Down on the ground
And there was a warmth for an hour or two
Yeah the heat my body next to you
And the cocktails on the bar are giving us away
And they all know the trouble on my mind
And you know the trouble with my mind
Took one look
I took one look
Took one look
I took one look
Instrumental
There's my love
Locked out in the night
Takes a thousand blows to make her feel alright
But I'm not there oh I'm long gone
I'm not there oh I'm long gone
Cos time, oh time is slipping fast
Time, oh time time is slipping fast
Time, oh time time is slipping fast
Time is slipping faster than you know
